Happy Veterans Day

And as a reminder, those who have fought for our country and received debilitating physical and mental injuries are woefully under-cared for. For instance, my cousin was talked into an honorable discharge form the Navy one week shy of the time required for medical benefits. Now she's in third stage kidney failure and can't afford the bills, and our compassionate armed services have politely told her to fuck off.

Oh, and one of every four homeless people is a veteran. That pretty well sums up our collective level of commitment to them.

And I'm the one who doesn't support our troops...
