THE SAKER—Of course, no matter what kind of mental gymnastics are needed to obfuscate the true nature of what the veterans really did (and still are doing), the truth seeps under this ideological concertina wire, especially when veterans blow their brains out, suffer from PTSD, drown in drugs and booze and end up homeless in immense numbers.
So Veteran’s Day is not about veterans at all, it is about self-absolution; about just for one day pretending to care about veterans and their “service”. But crucially, this day of shame is about whitewashing murder.
