I did not have to view CNN's "Who is a Veteran" episode to know the answer they would produce:
We are "ALL" veterans, so honoring individuals who actually wore a uniform and bore arms is narrow-minded and "un-patriotic."
Their take will have been.... The soldiers' wife is veteran..... the corner grocer during a war is veteran.... the war correspondent is a veteran... the Soviet-paid war protester is veteran.... the 'I couldn't hurt a fly' pacifist is veteran.... enemy operatives Jane Fonda and Dennis Kucinich are veterans.....
Are you seeing a pattern here?
Let us dilute the value of "veteran" and make all who hide under their mother's skirt a hero. Let us call - in the name of political correctness - every person who advocated victory for the enemy as a "hero" to be cherished.
That is the value set of the Democrats.
Pardon me while I vomit.
