There’s not much I can write that already hasn’t been said before and by others. Having never served (or desired to serve) in the military it nevertheless has always been both humbling and amazing to me to about and learn about those who have served, and are serving, their country for the cause of freedom both here and around the globe. Folks can argue about the political decisions by which our brave men and women – and their families – have made this sacrifice across the ages, but on this day I hope anyone who cherishes the freedoms we take so much for granted will take a moment to express their gratitude to our serving men and women and veterans for all they have done and continue to do on freedom’s behalf.

Goodboys Nation weblog thanks you for your service and remembers in both thought and prayer those who have given the ultimate sacrifice while serving under the flag of this great country. May your service and sacrifices never be forgotten.

While I hate to inject politics into what ought to be a non-political post, it’s instructive, I think, to understand how the liberal left thinks, as evidenced by this incredibly moronic and repugnant Salon article penned by one Daniel Masciotra. Look, you can be as anti-war as you want. And you can even be anti-military, believing that if the leaders of the world all just sat around in a great big circle and sang Imagine, there’d be no wars and we could all focus our full attention on truly important things like man-made climate change. But only in the astonishingly juvenile and out-of-touch world of liberalism could someone pen a piece that is not only void of reality, but so shockingly insensitive and disrespectful to those who volunteered, fought, and died so that he and others can pursue and live the American dream.

And that dream does exist. Don’t believe me? Check this heartwarming story out. Mr. Masciotra should be so lucky in his life, but frankly, he’s so bat$hit crazy he wouldn’t know the first thing about what this country stands for and means to others far less fortunate than he obviously has been in his coddled, elitist existence. Personally, I think he needs a tongue-lashing from Sam Kinison.
