Gotta agree with Tunk that I don’t know any hippies that wanted their kids to be cannon fodder or bomb brown people.

Of course nowadays they can kill brown people by remote control from the safety of San Diego, so it is safer.

So the hippies have done just fine because they’ve offered their children as cannon fodder for criminal wars around the world, eh? Can’t say I agree with your assessment of their kids’ education-if they were truly smart, they would never have volunteered to fight in illegal, immoral conflicts for a nation that drops them like a used condom once they’re finished using them.

This legislation is the equivalent of putting a band-aid on massive trauma and hoping the patient lives. If this nation truly valued its veterans, it would end the wars it let its politicians start and work to ensure that their soldiers are never again placed in harm’s way based on lies and deceit. You know, like hippies did 40 years ago, before they sold those values for material comfort and the illusion of security.

The hippies have done just fine. I married one. They are now the parents of these young men and women who are providing us the most skilled and educated Armed Forces in history… all volunteer! Just the way the hippies wanted it. So where is the wheel, and the grease? I just heard the whining.

Where’s the hire the hippies act ?
The whiny wheel gets the grease, I suppose.
