And he HATES with a passion Memorial Day.

My Dad fought in Korea, called it a huge waste.

My Uncle was a top turret gunner on a B-17 during WW2, and he refused to tell any "war stories."
So even a war for a good cause had those who weren't "proud to have served."

Now? We have all those veterans from Bush's ego-boost. (Iraq)

And a war in an area where invaders never get anywhere. (Afghanistan.)
