63. Thank you for your service, dmesg.
My anti-war, pro-troop activities started during the Vietnam War and haven`t changed since. That`s where I stand.

What the hell kind of war was this? The POS in charge and his five-deferment sidekick told us to "go shopping" because sacrifice was for the "volunteers" on that conveyor belt between home and Iraq. Some went two, three, four, five times. We looked the other way when caskets came home and charged this whole immoral mess to our great great grandchildren. Yellow ribbon magnets were the proof we supported our troops and my-way-or-the-highway helped us overlook not so secret torture planes.

I`ve seen a lot in my lifetime, but never did I think I`d see the day when Americans would willingly sit back en masse while their "leaders" committed one war crime after another.
