<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nFolks have been sending me this screen shot of a rant that a fellow by the name of Michael Schuette<\/a> in Alabama posted to social media;<\/p>\n I really don’t care if Michael or anyone else thinks I’m a hero, I’m in complete agreement with them in that regard. And I’ve said as much consistently. I don’t even know where these people get the idea that we think we’re heroes. No one here has said it. I’ve never heard a veteran or active duty member of the military call themselves heroes – even real heroes deny that they’re heroes, so I know the stank-ass hippies who like to proclaim that we’re not heroes actually wish they could be heroes, or they wish that the American people have the same admiration for them that they have for the military…penis envy, if you will.<\/p>\n What I do take exception with is the other generalizations to which Michael subscribes. I haven’t “terrorized” any countries – I terrorized a lot of privates, though. “Corporate interests”? Really? Michael owns a business, so I guess I fought for his “corporate interests” too – helping to secure a safe and profitable environment in which he can operate his corporate interests. His business is buying and selling firearms, according to Yellow Hammer<\/a>, so I guess he’s on someone’s list of “corporate interests” that run counter to good liberal citizenship.<\/p>\n He lists a few occupations that he considers “heroes” (notice that he doesn’t mention LEOs – probably some of his clients), but he adds in ACLU lawyers, so that tells us something about his politics.<\/p>\n Anyway, he realized how his rant may be costing him business;<\/p>\n Funny how, when folks vote with their wallets, it has an impact in the real world. Then, of course, being the little weasel that he is, Michael goes for the sympathy defense;<\/p>\n You have guns, right, Mike? What’s a few death threats? But I think he’s making the threats up out of whole cloth. Yes, you have a right to express your opinion on the internet, but, when you do, the people who disagree have the same right to express their opinions to you. When you decide that expressing your ill-considered opinion about veterans on Veterans’ Day, expect a loud response. Rants don’t happen in a vacuum on social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Michael](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Michael-Schuette-penis-envy-168x300.jpg\")
