My heroes are heroes of the CLASS WAR

  As a democratic Socialist " interested " in Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont I can take no sides in a controversy within the Republican Party . I do not hesitate to recognize Senator John McCain  as a courageous warrior. But I opposed the war in Vietnam  so many year ago. I was influenced by leftist professor Howard Zinn.So I still see prisoner of war McCain as more victim than hero of that LOST war.
    Any socialist intent on abolishing foolish wars will not fawn on " war heroes " or say a hypocritical THANK YOU to every veteran he meets.
       But local Talk Radio is too quick to bury the presidential hopes of Donald Trump. The American voter is getting sick of Wilsonian blather.
         FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY for whom ? Sacrifice for whom -the ONE PERCENT ?
    My heroes are heroes of the CLASS WAR-like Eugene V. Debs.  Unlike Bernie Sanders Debs was never drunk enough to join the Democratic Party.  But I suspect his more " respectable " wife would have approved .
