A veteran – whether active duty, retired, National Guard or Reserve – is someone who at one point in his/her life wrote a blank check made payable to the United States of America for an amount of ‘up to and including my life.’
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

To all my fellow veterans:
Have a good Veteran’s Day. We all should take time to remember the fallen and continue to support those still serving.
HOOAH!

I am a veteran, retired from service. I got busted up a bit in a foreign land. I did my job. I got back up and did what I had to do. Before that, I was a Native. All I knew was harvesting sugar cane, citrus groves, and strawberries. After I left the service, I worked hard, built a business, employed people. After Obama won office, I laid off everyone and sold everything off.
This nation did not vote for freedom or liberty. This nation voted for their selfishness and greed. They voted to have the government to take earners like me, hold them at gun point, and steal what they earned and worked hard for. This nation voted to have perverts and pedophiles grope and violate my daughters, my wife and my grandchildren so they could feel safe getting on a plane with me to travel.
I want no gratitude from anyone. All I want to see of the greedy moochers out there that voted for Obama is for them to eat shit and die. I served so that all you filthy moochers could buy your 52-inch TVs, fornicate night and day with multiple partners, not work anymore, draw your disability because you are depressed, force me to pay for your abortions, force me to pay for your children, force me to feed you while I wonder how to work and pay for the medical for my family.
I hate all of you. When things collapse and you come out here to the ranches and the farms, I will be waiting. I will do what my ancestors did and paint the horizons with the entrails of your children. I will hang you by your feet while I take my time pealing the flesh from your bodies.
I hate all of you. I pray death and eternal suffering for all of you.
This is a veteran who thinks all of you Obamabots are wretched filth for taking the gift many of my brothers died to bring you, that I fought to bring you, and you shit all over it.
FU(K OBAMA!
FU(K LIBERALS!
FU(K YOU FOR VOTING OBAMA!
