You've got some nerve talking about vets like that.
Remind me where you served?  Oh, that's right: you
didn't.

Veterans understand that when _we_ raised our right
hand, _we_ swore to defend the _Constitution_, which
includes the right to free expression.  It's kind of
an American thing.  More specifically, it does _not_
include some kind of right for your fragile
sensibilities to not be hurt because you don't like
someone using a platform to call something the way
they see you.

You right-wingers accuse others of being overly
sensitive, and then go apoplectic the second someone
says something you don't like.

Grow up.
