It probably is a worthy topic to discuss how we feel about our veterans in today’s society. But the twit at Salon is not the guy to do it.

A far better take, a serious discussion, can be found at The Greenie Board.

    You have to be a certified twit to write for Salon anyway. It might be more accurate to spell that with an ‘a’ however.

    From what I’ve read elsewhere, this is SOP for Salon, as they’re all trolls.

    Write something offensive, which encourages the offended to drop by & tell you it’s offensive. The extra hits & traffic are a fortuitous bonus.

    P.S. Agreed on the spelling.
