Veterans Day

Posted by Maya @ 19:11 on November 11, 2019  

I cringe when people try to thank me for ‘my service’.  It makes sense to modern veterans from the all-volunteer Army.  But I am a Vietnam-era veteran, and it was a time of forced conscription and involuntary servitude.  I was the one who got ‘serviced’.  An entire generation of young folks like me had their lives wrecked, even if they survived.  We learned that the government is not there to protect American lives.  And the monster has grown even larger since then.

No…. I do not accept thanks for my ‘service’.
