In the news: Veterans inspire youths with memories, ceremonies at Port Angeles Coast Guard base
Richard T. Gromlich, retired rear admiral with the Coast Guard:
“Today, our military members around the world continue to put service before self. They proudly serve to ensure the freedoms we enjoy today. I couldn’t be more proud of the men and women who serve today. They are the best of best.”
Many veterans claim to have served to protect American rights & freedoms.
How does this work?
Do the US Armed Forces function as some sort of giant civil rights organization?
Black people were still riding at the back of the bus after the big WWII victory.
Women were not allowed full voting rights at the end of WWI.
Were US troops sent to Vietnam so that Americans could be free to send letters to the editor?
Is there any case in which the US Armed Forces have been sent to distant lands on a mission to protect freedom of speech?
Is protecting freedom of speech even part of training scenarios?
Why the constant support for The Troops defending American rights & freedoms when the reality is that the US is involved in failed wars that never end.
Veterans Day was established in 1954, after Armistice Day was tossed out. How many US wars have been won since then?
