Every year, we get to listen to the Geezers For Sitting On Our Hands (also known in less informed circles as Veterans For Peace) whine about how they can’t get in traditional Veterans’ Day festivities because they’re a political organization. Their defense of course, is that they’re a Veterans’ group not a political organization<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Over 75 members of Boston area chapters of Veterans for Peace and supporters marched behind the Veterans Day Parade through downtown Boston Thursday. The veterans have tried for years to convince the parade organizer – the American Legion – to allow them to march with signs critical of recent US military interventions while chanting anti-war cadences. Without success. Supreme Court precedent allows private groups that get permits for public events to decide who participates and enforce rules for participation; so the Veterans for Peace and allied organizations once again marched behind the American Legion’s parade rather than not march at all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, it’s horrible that the American Legion gets to choose who is in their parade in Boston, huh? Who even wants to be seen in public with these burned-out relics of days gone by?<\/p>\n

So like the immature little twits they are, the VFP marched behind the American Legion’s parade this year carrying signs to prove that they have no interest in turning the event into a political discussion;<\/p>\n

In Ann Arbor, Michigan, they completely lost sight of the fact that Veterans’ Day is to recognize living veterans while they’re still alive and the VFP chapter there made an “Arlington West” out of rows of crosses. Writes the reporter of the event<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The memorial was just one of thousands set up across the nation to replicate the crosses at the Arlington National Cemetery.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, except there are no crosses at Arlington to replicate. Small detail I know, but proof these pencil-dicked morons don’t know what they’re doing.<\/p>\n

“This is not a protest march in any way, shape or form,” said [Bob Krzewinski of the Michigan chapter]. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess that because they keep repeating that phrase, it’s made so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
