Happy Veterans Day 2023! Lets give them the love and appreciation they have earned,
Lets give some love this weekend to all the vets that protect us daily.
Remember those who paid the ultimate price for us. Love to those families that sacrifice daily so their family member can serve and protect us. These deals have grown so much these days that I can't fit them all in here even with spoilers. All of the discounts have been confirmed, either through press release or direct communication with the company.

There isn't a single conflict we have been involved in since the civil war where the rights and freedoms of Americans was fought for. The military, today, doesn't exist to protect us. In the past two hundred years...
Have they died for oil? Yup. Have they died to set up borders on the other half of the world? Yup. Have they died de-stabilizing other countries in a bid to install leadership that was friendly to the US? Yup. Have they died for the ego of the politicians who sent them to war? Yup. Have they died for imperialistic purposes? Yup. Have they died going on a revenge tour against the wrong group of people? Yup. The military is not about protecting *US*... it is about protecting the interests and the pet projects of the dipshits elected into office while denying service related disability. --- **** THAT. - PFC, US ARMY PS. By all means... go get that free buffet tho. |

Ask any vet why they fought and sacrificed. It wasn't for oil or politics. Regardless of the reason for the war these brave men and women went into hell to protect us. They have earned our respect and gratitude. |

"Lets give some love this weekend to all the vets that protect us daily." And doing so from personal experience which, if I'm not mistaken, you don't share. That isn't what the military does today and hasn't for a LONG time. |

That's not politics. He didn't blame one side over the other. What he said is true....and that's coming from a Veteran.

You have a right to your opinion. You are not changing my opinion either. We should respect the vets and give them their appreciation they have earned. |

I thought I made it clear. Let me try again. I wasn't invalidating your opinion. As a vet, you have earned the right to have whatever opinion you have from your experiences. I separate out the presidential orders that sent us to war with supporting the soldier. I spent 3 years of my life helping the military execute the war in Iraq. A war I vehemently opposed. Thats just how I see things. Again, not saying anything against your view. You have earned it. |
