Veterans Day Needs To Be Fixed!
« on: November 11, 2026, 01:50:22 AM »
Every year Veterans Day gets more and more ridiculous.

Why do Veterans have to go into work today, but the people who have never served in the military get the day off? How are Veterans being honored today if they still have to work at their jobs? But a bank teller who has never served in the military gets to sleep all day?

Why are the banks, government offices, and post offices closed today? How in the world does this honor Veterans and show them appreciation? So you're telling me that the Veterans sacrificed their lives fighting in Vietnam; yet the thanks they receive is a 26 year old Government Center cafeteria cashier gets to have the day off to play Candy Crush and have their nails done?

What if the Veteran was waiting on an important check to arrive in the mail today? What if a Veteran had to go to the bank today to deposit a check that they received late yesterday after the banks had closed? Or what if a Veteran was disabled and could only get a ride to the bank on Tuesdays?

How about Veteran run businesses? They can't receive checks in the mail or mail out invoices.

What if a Veteran was having problems with their property taxes or motor vehicle taxes? They're out of luck because they can't go to the Government Center today.

Every Veteran's Day in my city the same group of people park in the empty Post Office parking lot. They blast music, smoke dope, eat food, drink beer, toss their garbage on the ground, and then drive off. It happens EVERY year.

Of course there’s never proof of this type stuff. Always someone claims to have heard. Whenever there is a recording it almost always shows Trump was right. See Very Fine People hoax, drinking bleach etc.

America must be the country that has started the most wars since the Nazis?

That's why there are so many veterans. Every dumbass president has to start yet another war the US can't afford. They never seem to learn

My trash was picked up this morning by town employees.

Saw USPS mail being delivered also.

Apparently guvment holidays only count on 3-day weekends.

I looked this up. UPs, Fedex, and Amazon are still delivering. But there shouldn't be mail or trash pick-up. That's odd.

He lives in Sweden. No more explanations needed, lol  Their new Prime Minister, I heard, is writing a law that forces all men to take estradiol.

They should have never been veterans in the first place. They were fighting wars for people that did not give a shit about them. They see soldiers as dispensable and cannon fodder. If your nation is attacked then yes, you need to defend it. But going to fight a war in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, etc. is all just unnecessary.

I also want to see all leaders fight on the front lines. People like the late Lindsey Graham should have been at the front lines since he loved war so much.

I think many on the right, myself included, would happily require national military service for all, especially if you want to vote. Teaching discipline. Problem is the army doesn’t want most of them, as they’re to weak or fucked up.

Zero respect

After the failed impeachment vote on Hegseth, I had to look up exactly what impeachment even means. If he doesn’t resign, Democrats will probably impeach him once they take the House. The House can impeach if they have over 1/2 the votes (if the Democrats had shown up they could have won this recent vote, but they didn't show up to vote). Then that triggers a Senate trial as long as they have 1/2 the votes in the Senate too. Removing him from office requires a 2/3 the votes in the Senate and they don't have those votes in the Senate. But Trump wouldn’t want to deal with the fallout from a high profile trial, so I expect Hegseth will resign before it gets that far.
