"Desecrating"(?) The Flag
|
|
|
|
I'm getting sick and tired of all these "Patriots" who fulminate about the
|
|
dozen-odd flag burnings a year, and how The Precious Symbol Of Our Country
|
|
NEEDS the protection of a Constitutional Amendment!
|
|
|
|
Sod Off!
|
|
|
|
You want to know what the real desecration of the flag is? It's that there are
|
|
veterans of WW II, Korea, Viet-Nam, et al, who are homeless. These men and
|
|
women who volunteered to offer "that last, full measure of devotion" in the
|
|
defense of their country, are reduced to sleeping on the streets. You over-fed,
|
|
knee-jerk patriots cross the fucking street to avoid that ragged, smelly
|
|
individual pleading for spare change. You don't care that he helped liberate
|
|
South Korea inch by inch, under unspeakable hardships, or that he answered a
|
|
call to fight for freedom in Viet-Nam, or that he got dosed by nerve gas in
|
|
Iraq. No, you fat fuckers don't give a rat's ass about him, but you all PISS
|
|
yourselves over the thought that some bozo might burn a flag and that the
|
|
Federal Government needs to come down on him with both jackbooted feet.
|
|
|
|
So SCREW THE FLAG and WIPE MY ASS WITH IT! As long as there are veterans who
|
|
don't have a safe place to sleep, food to eat, and the medical, physical and
|
|
psychiatric care they deserve, then the flag is being desecrated far worse than
|
|
anyone could do with a can of naptha and a Zippo!
|
|
|
|
The Government has always considered veterans as a disposable commodity. Use
|
|
them and then throw them away. From the very first, the surviving veteran has
|
|
always been the first to be screwed by the Feds, and the last to be succored.
|
|
Even today, the bullshit from the Feds about Gulf War Syndrome is sickening.
|
|
These men and women are sick, they are dying, they are giving birth to
|
|
seriously deformed children. This is not all in their minds. The Government
|
|
just wants to weasel out of paying for their care and treatment.
|
|
|
|
That the surviving veterans of America's wars do not take up arms and march on
|
|
D.C., DEMANDING redress of their grievances amazes me.
|
|
|
|
Well, not really. They tried that once before, right after World War I.
|
|
Something called the "Bonus March." When they reached Washington, D.C., they
|
|
wound up being FIRED UPON by the same Army they once served in, on the direct
|
|
orders of the President.
|
|
|
|
One day, though, the Hired Help in the White House, on the Hill and in the
|
|
Pentagon, will be called forth (hopefully at bayonet point) to answer for their
|
|
sins of omission and commission.
|
|
|
|
And then, perhaps, the Government-Sanctioned Desecration of the Flag will
|
|
cease.
|
|
|
|
Don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen, though.
