I Don't Appreciate the Military

• LewRockwell.Com - Laurence Vance

I didn't celebrate Military Appreciation Month. I didn't read President Obama's proclamation. I didn't thank any soldiers for their service. I didn't knowingly shake the hand of anyone in the military. I didn't visit anyone in a VA hospital. I didn't visit a war monument or memorial. I didn't visit a military cemetery. I didn't fly the American flag outside of my house. I didn't attend a church service where members of the military were recognized. I didn't attend any "tribute to the troops" celebrations. I didn't attend a USO comedy show like President Obama did. In fact, I not only didn't recognize Military Appreciate Month, I don't appreciate the military.
