I have a cousin who helps run the volunteer fire department in the town where we do the reunion. One vet there was a doctor in the Army stateside for two years during Vietnam and then spent his career in a state mental hospital -- which was the bigger hardship? I have another cousin who has spent his summers fighting forest fires -- he has surely put his life at risk as much as the organizer who did his tour on a destroyer without anyone ever shooting at him. I don't object to honoring the vets at all, but exalting them while dumping on everything else the government does kinda bugs me.

Dude -- I said I buy drinks for paramedics as well as soldiers. How many asses do I need to kiss to make you happy?
