Thoms blog Veterans...were sorry for how our country treated you Its time to stop saying thank you, and start saying sorry. Today is Veterans Day, a day when Americans give thanks for the service of the men and women of our armed forces, who have bravely served our country, and in many cases, made the ultimate sacrifice. Veterans Day aside, our society teaches us to thank veterans for their service, but in reality, particularly for Republicans, that thanks is a big slap in the face. Were flooded with television ads and YouTube videos thanking veterans for their service. Its become an obligatory thing to say: Thank you for your service. Instead, we should be saying were sorry to the nearly 23 million surviving veterans in America, and were sorry to those who are no longer with us. We should be saying were sorry to them for destroying their lives, and for forgetting about them when they come home from the battlefields. But the apologies dont stop there. We should be saying sorry to the millions of veterans who fought in unjust wars that our lawmakers lied us into, and sorry to the families who lost their loved ones in those violent, deadly and completely unnecessary wars. And, we should be saying sorry for having Republican lawmakers in Washington who have repeatedly shot down bills and filibustered legislation meant to help Americas veterans.
