Bryan: I've only one thing to say. And I'll let one of my best
friends say it:
" It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its
government." -Thomas Paine
Hope you all had a very memorable Memorial Day,...

In my opinion Dissent is Patriotism in Action.
Some people seem to think that anyone who criticizes the Americans who,
until the next
election, are running the country are traitors trying to destroy America. I
served my country
during the Cold War and have expressed Dissent about some actions of every
president from
FDR to Bush. It is the Constitutional Duty of every American to critically
view the people who
are currently governing America.
For over 50 years I have felt that the foot solders biggest enemy was the
Pentagon. Some people
get excited about that. I don't care!
My Father was in the Army in the '30's and volunteered for WWII. I was born
in the Army
Hospital at Fort F.E. Warren in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I lived around the Army
for the first
40 years of my life.
I think the dishonorable way Americans treated returning Viet Nam Vet's was
caused, in part,
by all of the lies the Johnson administration and their Generals had told
Americans.
Americans have never done that before or since.
Show that you care about the troops. Do something. I gave $200.00 to the USO
to buy phone
cards for injured troops in the Hospital. Not much, but a good start. I also
sent letters (on paper)
to both California Senators requesting more money for the VA.
