So being this is my blog, and I'm really bad at hiding things, once in a while I'll probably write about something pretty unpopular. This will be one of those posts. I'm taking the opportunity this day of independence to write about our military. Now if you're one of those "rah-rah" folks who reply with things like "you should be thanking them for fighting for you" then please do us both a favor and stop reading right now.
