Sorry veterans. There is nothing about your service that is worthy of thanks.
We don’t thank you for following immoral orders.
We don’t thank you for fighting unjust wars.
We don’t thank you for serving Uncle Sam instead of the country.
We don’t thank you for going to countries where you had no business going.
We don’t thank you for fighting senseless wars.
We don’t thank you for acting as the world’s policeman.
We don’t thank you for bombing, maiming, and killing for the state.
We don’t thank you for engaging in offense instead of defense.
We don’t thank you for making widows and orphans.
We don’t thank you for invading and occupying countries.
We don’t thank you for being part of the president’s personal attack force.
We don’t thank you for fighting undeclared wars.
We don’t thank you for being a pawn in the hands of Uncle Sam.
We don’t thank you for unleashing sectarian violence.
We don’t thank you for the death and destruction you caused overseas.
We don’t thank you for helping to carry out a reckless, belligerent, and meddling U.S. foreign policy.
We don’t thank you for being a global force for evil.
And we certainly don’t thank you for filling up restaurants on Veterans Day to get your free or discounted meals and increasing our wait times to be seated.
