To All EN World Military Veterans, past and present

[paulsometimes]

My wife (US Army) and I (US NAvy) thank all of you. It was an honor for both of us.

Wow, an Amry-Navy Mil-to-Mil marriage. That must've been interesting.

Wow, an Amry-Navy Mil-to-Mil marriage. That must've been interesting.

Actually we met at the end of my 10 years in the NAvy in 1994, and then she didn't go in until after 9/11, staying in until they broke here about two years ago. Now we are both 100% disabled vets. Well, she will be once the VA quits jerking us around and listens to their own 5 doctors.

You are most welcome - I have served with the best. (From many Nations - luv my SAS mates the best though - dry witt.)

Note the presumption that every poster on ENworld is from the US.

As a writer out here in the non-world observed, "the reason Americans are so friendly to foreigners is that they assume that the rest of the world is in the process of becoming American".

Not exactly, but someone has to lend some sort of legitimacy to thinly-disguised wars of advantage. Who knows what would happen if the silent majority realised that Eisenhower's feared military-industrial complex was a fait accompli?

Not sure what this has to do with me thanking American veterans last Saturday on the American holiday of Veterans' Day, but you will note that I thanked ALL military veterans from around the globe later in the thread....

THANK YOU for your service to our country!

And thank you to others for service to our country.

And THANK YOU to all our allied nations' veterans as well!

And thank you to the veterans of those countries who count us and our allies as enemies. I don't want to sound like I'm Anglo-Amero-Euro-centric, y'know.

Keep the political commentary out of it, folks. Thanking veterans from yours or other countries on Armistice Day/Memorial Day/Veteran's Day (whatever it happens to be called where you are - see how inclusive that was!) is nice. Snide comments and political references, however veiled, are not appropriate to EN World.

Thanks everyone. It really means a lot to know we're appreciated. (12 years USAF and still going)
