Today is Veterans' Day, when we're supposed to honor our veterans for defending our freedoms.

Unfortunately, most of our recent -- and unwon -- wars have had very little to do with our freedoms and much more to do with corporate profits and power grabs.

Which is why the stock exchanges are open today.

Some honor.
