A few years ago my brother and I were at a college football game that was the weekend of Veterans Day. There was a stick flag on every seat (50k seats) and people waved them proudly during the game but upon heading out after the game, flags covered the ground and we saw two trash cans that were overflowing with conceivably hundreds of these cheap stick flags. People were walking all over them too without giving a thought. My very drunk brother for about 5 minutes thought this was an affront to all that is America and began to pick up dozens of these flags. After I told him they were nothing more than cheap Chinese made flags that probably cost the sweatshop 3 cents to make, he threw them all on the ground in the middle of a herd of fans and no one one seemed to give a gently caress as they walked all over these, too. We definitely didn't see any faux Facebook rage that day.

My grandfather was the only vet in my family who saw for real action, and he refused to discuss it. He was always proud of the military though, he even spent some time as commandant of a military school out in nowhere, NC. My father was in the Marines for 10 years during the 80s and he came out with a healthy skepticism for the military (he threw a fit when I tried to join the Navy) and a really intense interest in WWII. Every other former military person I know is kind of HOO-RAH ARE TROOPS.

People seem to remember some alternate reality where we spent that last Monday in May heads bowed in deep respect and not confusing the meaning behind Veterans Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day Its the one with dead people. The last ancestors of mine to die in uniform were killed by the U.S. Army. Can I still celebrate?

It always amazes me that people would even wave the Confederate flag. It's like... you fuckers lost. The south will not "rise again." It never rose in the first place. Just deal with the fact that Johnny Rebel lost a long time ago. And to quite Dennis Miller "If the Confederate Flag is a sign of heritage than the Swastika is just a plus sign doing cartwheels." Admiral Joeslop posted:The saga continues: It just always blows my mind the overreaction to poo poo like this. Of course he was a dick for the damage he did but, I dunno, make him do a shitload of community service or pay a fine or whatever. But that's too rational. Lets just jump to literal murder, and of course the two proposed ideas are lynching (not racist) and dragging behind a truck (also not racist) Tracula has a new favorite as of 04:35 on May 30, 2016 |

There's a lot of old grudges sparked by the treatment of the South postwar; The confederate states were super screwed over in a lot of ways, and their economy totally ruined. They went from being a super prosperous and powerful society to an oppressed laughingstock, and Northerners since then have made the South the butt of all kinds of jokes. People cling to the flag as a symbol of cultural pride because they don't feel they have a lot else. It's a poo poo symbol representing a time of evil, but it's what they have.

I think the people sharing this are upset they can't drink and then drive on Memorial Day weekend because of the mean ol' cops. So much wrong with this next one. It's stdh, from tumblr, and it's "poo poo I wish I overheard" from someone who's never heard six-year-olds talk before.

He had Alzheimer's and was quite possibly drunk as poo poo, but damned if he didn't kill the gently caress out of that I-talian who collapsed his lung with a bayonet. Only time I really remember him saying anything about it. I was either entirely too young to hear this story, or exactly the right age. Vets mostly rule. They'll teach you how to listen.
