"DEFEND ARE VETERAN'S"

[ChiciB1]

222. Saw This Post & Was Astonished That A Person Of

Will Pitt's intellect & journalism shocked me! I thought OH NOES even YOU Will Pitt!! Since I've seen so much of this DUMBING down by American citizens it's been truly disturbing to me that this continues.

So, thankfully was relieved that HE didn't originate this! We as a nation must seem totally pathetic by many other countries who must be scratching their heads.

Yes, I make mistakes myself, but a typo from typing too fast or just not proof reading is usually the case. I have seen this happening here at DU too, but sometimes a fellow DU'er might point it out. I've been tempted at times, but I know many who post here are from other countries & different ethnic backgrounds. It's something that can be overlooked for the most part.

HOWEVER, seeing THIS type of thing when surely many people could easily have pointed out the blatant error says so much about who these idiots are! I grew up in a military family, an army brat from birth, but I'm appalled that so many veterans have let themselves become so duped by RIGHT WING ZEALOTS! Patriots??? It sickens me.

Not trying to paint with a broad brush as I know there are many more who would never associate themselves with this bunch. But I do have to question WHY some of them don't attend these events to call them out. I know MY father & father-in-law, both army lifers, may be rolling over in their graves right now. It galls me that so many project themselves as outright racists when so many surely served with people of all color & nationalities. My father was in charge of many men while serving & I remember so many times when people other than whites were invited to dinner & other family functions. Young men who had been drafted & away from home were ALWAYS a part of our lives. Not until I left home & got married did I see the true ugly side of racism!!

And they call themselves PATRIOTS!!!
