To US Veterans...

[arewethereyet]

I don't see where this has been mentioned on the board...today is Veterans' Day in the US and I would like to take a moment in the midst of the madness in this country to thank all those who gave of their time, and often more, in service to the country.

In my short couple years as a soldier I was never in danger but was in a support role training for the possibility of needing to keep a combat communications center operational.  That training was my first experience with anything computer-y.  I met great people, learned a lot about a lot of different things, challenged myself mentally and physically, and am glad I played a small part.

Forget Trump for a minute and say thank you to a veteran.  Chances are if you aren't one someone in you life was or is.

Don’t blame the soldiers for the wars they fight in. Blame the politicians.

Support the troops.

I’d like to thank everyone who refused to fight and encourage young Americans to avoid the armed forces like the plague. Please, don’t fight for our “freedom”. You haven’t helped one iota since the 1940’s. 25 years from now we’re going to be going on a century of worthless military endeavors. Really, thanks but no thanks.

Be easy on the five.
Five is seven higher than its IQ.

I fought so you could say that. You're welcome.

I swore an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign or domestic. You sound like an upstairs maid to me.

Do you think I benefitted in some way because you took an oath?
