I didn't put up anything for Veterans Day.

Given what I am going through with the V.A. and the FBI regarding seeking psychological help regarding events in the service and a few rough edges before and after, I didn't have the groove for it this year. After thinking about it, though, I have decided to plaster up a comment on all blogs which did put something up. I had thought to put up a single standard comment, but it morphed through time. This is what I have to say about honoring veterans:

Rather than honoring us, how about making it so the V.A. can’t secretly (without our knowledge) claim veterans who have sought psychological help for our actions in the service as mentally deficient, filing that claim with the FBI, and giving us no sure course to appeal either through the V.A. or through the FBI?

Do that and I am good. I don't need sympathy, help, money, or anything else more than what I get. Just protect my rights as I worked to protect yours. At least give me a fair chance at keeping them or regaining them.

It probably won't help. But I do feel better. And, now, I have put up something. And it isn't all fluff. I'm just not a... fluffy kinda guy? Yeah, that's it.
