People in the military are just like the rest of the population. Some should be honored. They chose to work in an occupation, they were compensated for their effort.
They chose to work in an occupation that is deadly, but necessary, for the success and survival of our country. That's default honorable.

I meanwhile did not. I sat on my fat ass and did nothing for it but vote and bitch and moan. I expect you did similar.

I did that because I disagree with your opinion on the subject. Please do the same for me.
