Imperial Follies

The only way to honor a war veteran is make sure we never make another war veteran.  That's not happening any time soon in our glorious empire, so all the talk about veterans today and every other day is 100% grade A horseshit.  Standing armies are evil.  Police forces are evil.  Our military has nothing to do with protecting the United States, or "democracy" or "freedom" or any of that nonsense; anyone who doesn't understand that is an irredeemable fuckhead.  And our heavily armed and murderous police forces have nothing to do with keeping the peace or enforcing the law; same deal: irredeemable fuckheads are too stupid to understand that basic truth.
