Dear Sheep: STFU on Memorial Day. Not my beloved bretheren from the Blacksheep of course, but the cowardly pacifists who offer false gratitude, back handed compliments, and deep seated contempt to our nation's warriors. Neither I, nor any of my fellow veterans need or want your gratitude for our service. We didn't serve for you. We served our country and each other. You are merely an inconsequential beneficiary of that service. We served because we understand that there is actual evil in the world that needs to be destroyed. Evil that kills children at pop concerts, not pretend evil that hurts feelings on American college campuses. Evil that kidnaps and enslaves girls and detonates bombs in churches on Easter. Not pretend internet evil on memes and CNN, actual f*cking evil that uses chemical weapons on families and punishes women with acid attacks and honor killings. The veterans whose headstones mark hallowed ground stood for things greater than themselves while at the same time embodying each of those timeless values: Honor, Freedom, Brotherhood, Family. On this day we honor those men and women who said, "Send Me."
