Obligatory

As we've spent much of the day exercising our (not-gawd given, but seized-by-the-power-&-will-of-the-people) rights to free speech & inflammatory rhetoric, we take a moment to pretend we have some patriotic (certainly no nationalistic) blood in our varicose veins & acknowledge the poor bastards who died or were permanently damaged for our country, rather than making poor Kraut bastards die for their fascist shit-hole of a nation. Specifically those poor American bastards at the Omaha Beach cluster-fuck, but all those who served & suffered, Canucks, Limeys & Yanks*, at all the beaches, on the ships, in the planes, at their desks ... Thanks, for whatever that's worth coming from us, or anyone. Now back to plotting against the upper classes. War is never over until all the enemy are dead.

*No ANZAC; they ran home to the Anti-Podes a-skeert of a never-did-happen Japo-Japanese invasion right before the big day. (Photo stolen here.)
