Pacifists can't THANK military!

On Memorial Day and Veterans Day we get a lot of pseudo-patriotic ceremony pretending to THANK the veterans of any and all America's wars. But these quasi-religious ceremonies really HONOR not the veterans but the Moloch-God of War.

Without knowing WHAT the war is all about, we are told ( by the ONE PERCENT via the news media ) to brainlessly say "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE" to any poor slob of a veteran we may encounter in our daily routine. For all we know he or she may have been a participant in very dishonorable war crimes: like a guard at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq?

The best way to HONOR all veterans is to end our imperialistic wars and end capitalism at home- the root of modern war.

On his WPRO Radio Talk show this Veterans Day host Gene Valicenti wonders on the air if WE killed the leader of the terrorist group ISIS in Iraq. How "heroic" to kill a very dangerous man from the safety of a Drone Command or a high flying, high tech military aircraft.

Aren't WE so heroic: to kill the bastard from the safety of our comfortable Rhode Island homes? TRUE DOMESTIC HEROES– ALL of US !
