I want to take a little time to recognize our veterans. Just imagine what your world would look like if it weren't for their service and sacrifices. Many were drafted and many others volunteered to become Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines. Regardless of what situation put them in a uniform, they deserve to be honored for thier service

I salute you all, and to those serving in harms way, come home soon.

We've attacked Canada 3 times and got our ass turned homeward everytime.

Once during the American Revolution
Once during the War of 1812,

Bagging on Canada is wrong. They are probably our one of our most important allies and friends. Just because they don't spend what we do on military doesn't mean they aren't brave fighters.

Canada is a kick ass country, very beautiful, always treat Americans good, and usually stand with American on important issues. What is not to like?

thanks dood

at the service today, the speaker mentioned that this was the 100th anniversary of the canadian navy, how back in 1910 we started out with 2 ships, one for each ocean, and how at the end of world war 2 we had the 3rd largest navy in the world, i found myself waiting for him to say what a shame it was that we are now back to just 2 ships, but it never happened.

On the 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month ...

Laying Down Arms

By PETER LINEBAUGH

http://www.counterpunch.org/

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the Great Powers of the World signed the armistice laying down arms after four years of the bloodiest war in history. That was 1918.

Now, we call it Veteran's Day.

What caused the armistice was the refusal of soldiers to fight. They refused 'to go over the top' anymore. In Russia, France, England, Italy they refused to participate in the slaughter which had begun in 1914.

What we learn from Armistice Day is that the soldier is the front line of the peace movement.

Sailors and soldiers mutinied against the war, turning their arms not on so-called "enemies," namely brother soldiers from across the world: instead, they turned their arms upon the officers who otherwise sent them to the butchery of the trenches or ordered them to a freezing death in battles at sea.

In late October 1918 at Kiel and Wilhelmshaven, the home ports of the German fleet, the sailors refused the orders of their officers. Soldiers were brought in to force the sailors to obey. Instead the soldiers embraced their cause, "Frieden und Brot” or Peace and Bread.

One such sailor was a former stoker named Karl Artelt who had shoveled coal into the fires which kept the steam engines of the battleships burning. On a voyage to the Far East he witnessed the Chinese revolution of Sun Yat-sen. Later, perhaps as the engines of the German naval squadron were transformed from coal to oil, he became a skilled metal worker in the engine room. In other words his experiences below decks put him at the central themes of his historical epoch - imperialism and the oil machine - and he used these experiences to overthrow the war mongers. Such men put an end to World War One.

Together soldiers and sailors formed direct democratic councils. On 9th November 1918 a socialist republic was declared in Berlin. Hindenburg and Ludendorf, the German generals, had to agree to an armistice.

So: Honor the soldier who takes direct action for peace. Honor the soldier who thinks. Honor the soldier who brings Empire to its end.

Remember the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month!
Bring the troops home!

You know how John Wayne died?

He contracted cancer after one of his movies filmed on a Nevada movie set that happened to be downwind of the US military's nuclear test sites. Several other actors in the film also died from cancer.

The US war machine killed John Wayne, American hero.

So where is the outrage?

Do you think that John Wayne being a five pack-a-day smoker of unfiltered Camels and had been for over thirty years had anything to do with his lung cancer ?

Apart from reruns of his old movies, John Wayne appeared on the tube in commercials for Camel cigarettes in the mid-fifties, speaking highly of the product: "Mild and good tasting pack after pack. And I know, I've been smokin' 'em for twenty years." Truth in advertising - at that time Wayne was a five pack-a-day smoker of unfiltered Camels and had been for over thirty years.
