I don’t like Veteran’s Day and I’ve been called out for that.
I do respect and appreciate veterans for what they’ve done, but I cannot respect or celebrate the military complex that has thrown people into a meat grinder and then discarded them for decades, which is what that day represents to me.
I cannot support these wars, where people are brainwashed, used, then cast aside, to benefit elites and politicians who will never feel that pain and will literally party when dropping their bombs.
I feel like Vietnam veterans who were objectors could fall in this category. Plenty of them were forced to go. In the end, anyone who was drafted and didn’t want to be would have some level of understanding from me.

Fuck everything about that.
WW2 veterans like, sure, but what other US veterans do tou respect for what they’ve done?
I taught my son to be a conscientious objector.
I caught hell for that, especially in conversations in my very, very small town where many people sent their kids into this meat grinder.
I told my son he was too good for that, and some locals hate me for that. Like they thought I was saying my son was better than theirs.
No, I just understand the system, and I’m not going to groom my kid to be chopped meat. You don’t have to do that either.
You do you. That’s not beautiful to me, though, e: and my son is the most beautiful thing in the world to me.
Wonderful job, I think that’s telltale sign that you’re a wonderful parent
