It is Sunday and on the weekends I try to give my readers something a little different….science or astronomy or humor or…..well anything but political crap we focus on every week day…….but I read a piece about the treatment of an American vet I got outraged and this post is a result of that rage.

All those that know me know how pissed I get when people act in a disrespectfully way to a veteran……any vet deserves respect……we have enough faux patriotism……..people that know me know how much I hate people that buy a flag or a ribbon or some such ‘patriotic’ paraphernalia……that does nothing but put money in some greedy f*cks pocket……of these people really want to show respect then force your elected official to get up off their donors genitalia and force them to act in the name of America’s veterans.

I have NO sympathy for anyone that belittles or embarrass a veteran for whatever reason they want to give…..there is NO excuse for disrespect….and my feelings lead me to this piece of crap from US Air…they will NEVER see a dime of my money!

US Airways is trying to contain a PR mess over what passengers on a flight saw as a flagrant insult to an Army vet. As WSOC-TV in Charlotte, NC, reports, it started simply enough when First Sgt. Albert Marle asked a flight attendant if he could hang his heavily decorated military jacket in a closet during the flight. The attendant told him the closet was only for first-class passengers, and he went back to his seat. It might have ended there had nearby passengers not overhead and raised a ruckus on Twitter. Sample: “USAirways is it really in your policy to disrespect brave men such as Sergeant Marle?” tweeted first-class passenger Laura Kirby.

That tweet and others like it explaining what happened quickly went viral, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. Soon, the airline issued an apology: “We apologize for the situation and are reviewing the incident internally. We have a long and proud history of serving our military members and hold the men and women who serve our country in the highest regard.” The airline says the closet was full and the flight attendant had no choice, but passengers say if that was the case, she didn’t say so at the time. “I was really appalled at not only the way she looked at him but the way she spoke to him in an angry type of attitude,” Kirby’s husband, Brian, tells the Charlotte TV station. Marle himself hasn’t joined in the criticism.

This country owes these people, the vets, more than they could ever repay……the sad thing America does not even try to make things right….they have not cared for 40 years….there are Viet vets that are still waiting for this country to show them the respect they deserve……and I cannot see Americans doing much more for the most recent vets……

No one cares…they think a simple thank you is enough…it might be if vets did not know that it is only soothing a guilty conscience…….It is disgusting….and everyone should be ashamed of themselves for the treatment vets are subjected to in this society…..
