I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:
There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.
If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.
If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
having never served in the armed forces, it is not for me to say what would make them feel appreciated for their service. but i doubt that silent thanks do much.
ReplyDeletebeing very careful about the situations we put them in and actively looking out for their welfare sounds like a better way to go.
MJ,for most of us vets a handshake and a "thank you!" go a long way toward making us feel apreciated ..but its funny how some people are willing to send the the military into war but ya cant get em to authorize a pay raise or come up with enough money to take care of those who return with minds and bodies shattered all the while eating off of silver plates provided by Tax dollars..
ReplyDeleteQuit being a whiny lefty, grow some nards and support the troops, it's the American way. Read my blog to learn how.
ReplyDeleteI gather you missed the top line on the graphic, PG. But perhaps your idea of "support" includes "leave them there to die pointlessly."
