Many others dumping on the page now. One thing I don't get is that many of the supporters/defenders retort to, "well you should be thanking her for your freedoms and without her you wouldn't be able to criticize on her facebook". How naive do you have to be? These days any wars that the USA and I am including Canada in this are mainly for political and economic reasons. Any of the places where the USA is involved militarily is not a legitimate threat to its safety. Same goes for Canada. It can be argued, rightfully so, that the last war which actually presented a threat to the safety of USA and Canada (in terms of full-scale war or another country attacking USA or Canada) was WW2 with Germany's Nazism.
I truly do support the troops that actually do and fight overseas even if it is for our stupid governments who want to advance their agendas. But there is this unwritten rule where you cannot criticize a military vet because we should be thankful to them for our current "freedoms". Bill Maher even touched on this. He said that it's funny how the biggest spending cuts can be made to the defense budget and whatnot but the criticizing the military and law enforcement agencies if out of the question. I don't want to derail this thread but it often irks me that we are supposed to be eternally grateful to veterans these days who are fighting for stupid agendas and we can't question anything they do (again I am still thankful to the veterans who still go overseas).
