The overwhelming majority of American veterans quietly answered their country's call to service.
Whether we agreed or disagreed with any war, we were honored to serve our country and our flag.
The overwhelming majority of veterans never even considered burning the flag, never even considered fleeing to Canada, and never even considered dodging the draft through medical conditions such as bone spurs (Donald Trump) or through college deferments (Bill Clinton).
I am proud to be a (retired) American serviceman, and proud to be a veteran! No matter where I may be, I always salute the flag and I always stand for the national anthem. To my brothers in all four of the services, be you active or retired, thank you for standing by my side always.

Of all the types of slavery, military conscription is the best.

I am fortunate to live just a few minutes from my local VA hospital and facility. They were great when I had my dad who was a WW2 VET. Funny, my local animal shelter is only a one minute drive from the VA. I try to visit them both with needed donations as often as possible. They are especially thrilled to receive at the VA my collections of personal items I save from my casino Hotel visits. I am a bit late in posting this, but every day my thoughts and prayers are with our Veterans and I thank all for their service.

I was lukewarm on Vladimir Putin until I saw reports that he's been drafting men as old as 62.
The leader is committed to winning. And I'm sure the cannon fodder are happy to help.
