    I love there house, I love these people, all of them, I love their purposeful activities, but for all I love the comprehensive atmosphere of the sixties. Times like this are due to happen, they should return at least within every forty to fifty year, everybody has the right to experience this in his lifetime.

    You don't bury a US flag to dispose of it, you burn it.
    That small point aside, I try to tell everyone who will listen, especially people with family in the military; "Soldiers are not heroes, they are the worst people in human history." Furthermore I tell young people I see in uniform or who let it be known they were, "I do not thank you for your service. I condemn you for it."
    Today the fight should be against enlistment and enlistees that empower the criminals in politics. The smartest thing to prolong needless war the thugs at The Pentagon ever did was end the draft. "No draft" has turned young America into navel-twiddling game addicted zombies, who's idea of protest is claiming victimhood or showing outrage over words.
