To the "freedom-lovin'" douchebag who left the "critique" of my bumper stickers on my car: You question how a "veteran" can be against war. I assume from your quotation marks that you doubt my status as a vet. My car is right in front of my house-why not stop by sometime (before or after I get home from the PhD program your tax money is funding) so I can show you my medals? Better yet, I'll take one that your führer Dubya gave me for going beyond the call of duty on an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf and shove it straight up your "patriotic" ass. To ask how a veteran can be against war is like asking how a physicist can be against the H-bomb. You do what you're told and hope that you never have to use what you know. War is not fun, it's not a video game; people really die, asshole. So come on by and we will settle this "man to man," as you say. Just don't be surprised when the veteran who opens the door is a woman. The 19th century is over; not everyone in the military is a white Christian man, you sexist, dumbass bitch.
