    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.

    Fuck everything about that.

        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.
