I served in peace time, so by most peoples figuring I am not a Vet or a Hero. Those are not the reasons I enlisted. I see the returning "Heros" expecting a huge ceremony and a parade. I see them puffing out there chests and shouting "I'm a war Vet!". I won't thank them for that. Nor will I thank the Ones that gladly excepted the $ 20,000 reenlistment bonus so they could sit in an airconditioned office and help spend trillions of our tax dollars on rebuilding the Hospitals and Orphanages we bombed last week. I did not benefit from the wars in the Middle East nor did my neighbors. Those that enlisted profited greatly. Thank George Bush. He's the one that asked for volunteers to kill and those that did are called Heros.
