re: #411 iossarian

So true. Complain about the absurd fetishization of the military in contemporary America and you’re a despicable traitor. Boo an active member of the military and you’re just defending all that is good and true in the USA.

It pisses me off man. I had right wingers tell me that I was somehow anti American for protesting the Iraq War and that old hippies like my Dad aided and abetted the enemy by protesting Vietnam. Shit pisses me off so much. Meanwhile these guys boo an active miltiary member. And there’s guys like retired General Boykin who seem to think that non Christians should basically have second class status in our military. My cousin’s husband, an atheist and former Marine corpsman, and guy who was in Gulf War I is somehow less a patriot to Boykin and those like him because he doesn’t believe in God. Shame dicks they are.
