I am more angry and frustrated with each passing #Veterans Day -- this is my tenth since leaving the US #Army Rangers as a conscientious objector -- because it gets clearer and clearer that Veterans Day is less about honouring veterans than it is about easing the guilty consciences of those who have sent (and continue to send) others to kill and die for reasons that have very little to do with #democracy or #freedom. ... Once I left the #military as a conscientious objector and began speaking about it, the personal thank-yous from strangers started to dry up -- apparently, its more heroic to kill people under orders than to demand that you be allowed to stop.
