I always find it disconcerting when people talk about the military or veterans and then add "let's keep politics out of it" . That's forgetting basic history .... Conscription aside how can you divorce the people that are the sharp end of the government's political policy from the actions they participate in?
Any military force is violence
Brett Michaels of Poison seems to think we should leave politics out of it and just blindly praise veterans and active military cuz' jingoistic nonsense
