I will never THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, Pentagon robot ... And why ?

Read if you will Gore Vidal's essay on West Point . THE MILITARY establishment of the United States is taken for granted as object of craven respect and admiration : " THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE ! ".

 And how do I know what constituted YOUR service : a few months in the notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq " ? An honorable role in the My Lai massacre in Vietnam 50 years ago ? Involved in military assassination of designated " terrorists " like that recent murder of the Iranian general ? An honorable mention for " service " in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ?

I will never THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, Pentagon robot , unless you can without shame tell me about it .
