		<description>How true it is that veterans have to use vacation days on veterans day if they want that day off. Cold War veterans are in this country the same as peace time veterans which is why they never get respect or are allowed to join the VA.

Veterans day should have been created exclusively only for veterans. Civilians should have never been allowed that day off including government employees who did not serve.

There is a clear distinction between the word veteran and civilian. Civilians don&#039;t fight wars. At least not in a traditional sense. There are hundreds of thousands of peace time veterans in America. What do they get? Not a damn thing.

What liberal Americans don&#039;t get is that there was a reason why it was called &quot;peacetime&quot;. It is called peacetime &quot;because of veterans&quot;. Because they served.

So wear your T-Shirts and hats proudly as you and many others have earned the right to do so and when a liberal radical Obama supporting anti-American tells you they are offended by your shirt or hat, simply with &quot;ok then I don&#039;t want to see your stupid anti-Iraq war shirts or hats&quot; I find them offensive.

When they respond &quot;and they will&quot;, &quot;usually negatively&quot;, with but that&#039;s not the same thing or &quot;you took what I said out of context&quot;. Where have we heard that Bullshit before?

Then star them down and with a very firm voice tell them &quot;then until you earn the right to wear the uniform of our military and serve honorably and are willing to defend America against all enemies both foreign and domestic, shut the hell up, because your not qualified to say anything about my patriotic shirts or hats.

So shut the hell up!

If that doesn&#039;t work on them then tell them they&#039;re chance to serve is coming very soon and smile.

Veteran - we salute you!</description>
