Message To Vets On Veterans Day: Get Off Meeting Hall Bar Stools—Enlist In Immigration Wars! By Dave Gorak

I am not a combat veteran. My military service included a year with the 1st Reconnaissance Squadron, 9th Cavalry, an armored unit stationed along Korea's Demilitarized Zone, nearly 10 years after a ceasefire ended fighting there.

What we did wasn't particularly notable: Monitoring the activities of North Korean troops on their side of the Military Demarcation Line, listening to radio chatter, learning to identify the other side's aircraft and vehicles by their silhouettes, recognizing uniform insignia, participating in field exercises, and, of course, looking forward to Pay Day so we could drink beer until we were stupid and silly.

My question is this: If I, whose Army experience was relatively tame, am upset by people entering this country illegally, wiping their feet on our immigration laws and sovereignty, waving foreign flags in our streets while demanding that we afford them respect and dignity, where are the voices of those veterans who experienced things I thankfully was spared?

In light of our stupid and irresponsible immigration policy, where is these veterans’ anger over having watched some of their friends die for what they were told are American values and principles—which our government now apparently has kissed off?
