2 postage stamps commemorate Veterans Day 2011 / Vleeptron's Random Thoughts on Veterans Day


Click postage stamps to enlarge.

Thank you for serving.

Bring back the draft immediately.

Share the risk. If the sons of the decision-making elite are subject to a no-loopholes draft, presidents and Congress will not be so War Whacky and Jingo Silly.

Stop playing War Poker with Other Peoples' Chips.

If these wars are so fucking vital to national security, why aren't we selling War Bonds or Victory Bonds so civilians can show how much they support the wars?

Explain how the US military will succeed where the Soviet military failed in Afghanistan.

THE THANKS OF A GRATEFUL NATION: Why is unemployment for US military veterans so astonishingly worse than the national unemployment rate?

*******************

Once in khaki suits
Gee we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went slogging through hell
I was the kid with the drum
Hey, don't you remember? 
They called me Al
It was Al all the time
Hey, don't you remember?
I'm your pal
Brother, can you spare a dime?
