It's time to stop pandering to the Vets. It's time to tell them who they are.

Veterans everywhere,
Society seems to be structured on a pyramidal model. Soldiers, you are at the very bottom under the tip. Mules are more important to the military than you. You are to do as you are told, up to and including killing someone. You don't deserve to be considered human. Certainly not a good neighbor upon release.
The most stupid, idiotic, criminal and anti-social minds go into the military. Boot camp is designed for the suggestable. The youth's will will be manipulated and their mind controlled. A small percentage of entrants are psychopaths/sociopaths. They are identified, monitored and mentored into leadership positions. A graduate from West Point is to be detested. A shell of his recruit self, a conscious-free killing machine should not be celebrated. He is a trained overseer and manager of slaughter, the more creative the more rewarded. Non-human, always a functioning cog in a genocidal machine. His life is in creating Death.
If you deeply sincerely believe this country needs to be defended, you are paranoid and heartless. All the money, 100 times more military than might be needed, psychopaths with their hands on the levers, really really really, do you think they are creating a killing machine for your benefit? If this group considers themselves a nation, the first act of creation is to control the borders. Our beloved military is all over the world defending freedom, liberty and democracy and, sure as hell, is not defending us. This military/intelligence/media complex from 1946 on has not served the people, and if you are a Vet, you served it. The Enemy. Come clean, recognize your role, decry militarism, shallow patriotism, and jingoism. Maybe you will be my friend.
I hear radio ads for job training geared to the homeless Vet. Didn't they learn a fucking thing during their service? Didn't pick up any other skill but 'do as you are told', PFC Buck Dumshit? Otherwise, sleep under the viaduct and panhandle on the off ramp? My tax-paying opinion says forget these deadbeats. I'm not responsible. Who has a 'job' for four years and gets free health care for the rest of their lives? (Not that I would use it). The VA is an enabling drug dispensary with plenty of willing lab rats. Those that want National Health Care, expect funny man/butcher Hawkeye Pierce to be your surgeon. It's not homelessness, it's drug addiction.
I once tested for an institutional job. Beforehand, I was told I had to get a 100 because the Vets get 5 extra points breathing the same oxygen I do. They can test 105 out of 100. Mathematically impossible, I just had to eat it. I got a 96. The man that got the job got a 93, but a Vet. Obviously, they want robot people trained to do as they are told. Better for all, I wouldn't have worked out.
The Coast Guard seems to help more than hurt. Traditionally, the National Guard is a well-received rescue force, now the supply chain killing arm of the DOD. Space Force? What the hell is that bullshit? The Army, Navy, and Air Force are all deeply evil. The dopes, mopes and common troops feed its endless need for captured souls through death or being bio half-dead dunderheads. Cluster bombs make IED a necessity. Established evil from demons is met with makeshift evil from good people leading to more death, more evil. It won't stop until soldiers stop being soldiers. Everywhere.
I respect the enlightened ex-soldier, draft evader, and the CO. The rest, like this Veterans' Day, are just sad.
I will only support military veterans who lead anti-war marches.
