Now, will you recognize MY service as a black man, or that of my Father, one of the very first Black Staff Officers in the United States Air Force - because I can promise you, I, and I'm quite sure that my deceased Father would agree, that we neither subscribe nor would we support that gentlemans views on Obama. Not for one second.
Now, will you recognize MY service as a liberal Veteran of Co. C, 2/1 Infantry, 196th Light Infantry Brigade in Vietnam, or that of my Father, a true "yellow-dog Democrat" and Veteran of the 36th Signal Company from North Africa, through Italy and Southern France and on across Germany to Austria--because I can promise you, I, and I'm quite sure that my deceased Father would agree, that we neither subscribe nor would we support the modern-day, pro-corporate, "conservative" Republican Party. Not for one second.
You're damn right I recognize your service. Being shot at and missed, shot at and hit, supercedes party affiliation for vets. This isn't about you. It's about those who use vets for their purposes on BOTH sides but it specifically points out those who spit at guys like us back then and now, 40 years later, standing on the American flag, telling us how much they "care".
Liars - each and every one of them.
