A Vietnam Veteran Responds to "Thank you for your service"

Z. Woof posted to DailyKos.com: May 24, 2015

I didn't serve in Vietnam for "freedom"...
or liberty, or the flag.
I didn't serve for the reasons people think of when they tell me, "Thanks for your service."
I knew that this war was not about any of that stuff.
I served for 365 days and a wake up, as we called it.
I served so I would not be imprisoned by my government.
I served because my father asked me to. Later, he admitted he was wrong and apologized.
I served with these guys.
I served to save them and myself for 365 days and a wake up.
I failed.

Just the facts, please! Who was President when "ISIS" was born?

by Jon Perr, Daily Kos, May 20, 2015:

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld warned his Commander In Chief:
The inevitable outcome of such U.S. mismanagement of post-Saddam Iraq, as Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld privately warned his boss on October 15, 2002, would be that "Iraq could experience ethnic strife among Sunni, Shia, and Kurds" with the result that "it could fracture into two or three pieces, to the detriment of the Middle East and the benefit of Iran."
This turned out to be a more accurate prediction than the one about American troops being greeted with garlands of flowers...

Paul Krugman (New York Times): Calls It Like He Sees 'em!

Trillion Dollar Fraudsters!

Ask Paul Krugman, "how does one make sense of the G.O.P. 2016 budget?": He would answer,
And the simplest way to understand these budgets is surely to suppose that they are intended to do what they would, in fact, actually do: make the rich richer and ordinary families poorer.
 From The New York Times, March 20, 2015.
