Well seems I made this Clubhouse bound and for that I apologize ( to
anyone bothering to still listen that is ) ..
my thought was just that there are so many more things to be upset about..
this seemed pretty insignificant..
but I made a bad comment that veterans took as insulting.. not my intent..but
reading it later I should have predicted how it would be interpreted.
on the other hand.. as a historian I am well read in propaganda and crowd
control techniques - all countries use them.. and the anthem at sporting events
is exactly that.. I just dont buy propaganda.. from anyone.
why else would the military PAY sports teams to trot out vets at anthems
like show ponies ? makes me ill to see them (the vets) being used that way.
I dont need to be PAID to honor them .. but why would the military actually pay ?
one example -

Also fairly amazing to see the Fibbie profiling going on about me just from that one comment..
so IM the downfall of America.. thatll be hard to spin that on a resume...
actually i think rabid jingoism is much more dangerous than myself.
Im not against veterans or any strong free thinking people.. and I dont
hate America.. best idea ever invented.. too bad the MIC hijacked it back
in the early 60s.. America I love.. the MIC can get F'd.
Anyhow..needed to clarify what I meant.. though most probably
wont care.. so rip away...
