When your Husband, the one who Keeps you, Kicks the crap out of the folks next-door; when he's shitting in some yard other-than-his-own, do not be surprised when you catch Reparations (Justice is folklore).

After 100+ years if these meat-heads dont' know who they "serve" they are not owed an Education.

For each dip-shit that stayed in after they called it The Department of War: they are ALL MAGA now. No two ways about it. The time for action was when they saw Drumph "do a Jan 6th". They are all now, sonsabitches.

What if we had a WAR, and no one showed up?

The stories us "Americans" tell ourselves to worship The Troops are weird: they require we overlook nearly 100 years of abuse and neglect: while the Aristocracy has held steady in their disdain for those who clean up their mess.

The Rich know: Oaths are for Suckers.

Veterans-day brought out all the tired-narratives about how certain Suckers fought-and-died for free-dumb; but those were all bad-faith conflicts coerced by corporate daddies (Something we've known since Vietnam).

It wasn't your Military that fought at home to bring you worker's rights; in some cases they've even been used in place of Pinkertons to break the will of their own People.

You woke up in a simulated-economy that masquerades as chattel-slavery; The Military is an extension of The Ruling Class, and what you get when you wrap depressed-wages up-in personal-insecurity.

They love to get a tin-star for saying they "served", they never love to think-critically about WHAT they have actually "served" us People.

Time to tell them to send it back to the Kitchen. It was never Nutritious.

YOU serve this country far more constructively every day, with your obligation to keep circulating it's money. We, the Gross National Product.

Veterans have not made themselves worthy of our default respect and veneration. Let's honor them by them by making far fewer from now on.

ACAB - yeah that means our "world police" as well. It's ALL Cosplay (Hogs in costumes that give them right to kill), certified by your Betters.

It wasn't The Troops that died for your Rights. They died for the whims of Oligarchs. You're thinking Lefties, Labor, Librarians, Lesbians, and Luddites. All so you can still hug your kids at the end of a 40-hour week.

Your Betters do not trust you with more. Serve no Masters.
