At the end of the day, if it wasn't for the WW2 vets, your life is nothing like what it resembles today. And you certainly are not posting in this forum. Our veterans, like them or not, have done, and do a dirty, dangerous, job that has to be done whether you agree with it or not.
Have some respect, and honour the vets. Many of them have seen horrors you could never fathom, all so they could win your freedom to complain about what they do.
We live in a frikkin society that honors a magical make believe fat man, with what seems like endless days of celebration who in reality was created to boost year end sales numbers for big box retailers. Yet we can't even make the time to throw a loony in a margarine tub, and don a cheap piece of red plastic on our lapels for just a couple weeks, to honour the past and present men, that give us the freedom and security to do so.
Just wear a damn poppy, and quit being such a bloody hippie.
