Great post Pan. I've stayed quiet, even though it was a "thank the Troops" post. That took a lot for me, because I was one of the troops, my father served 23 years, 4 out of 5 uncles served with two still in. I was born and raised in the military, and was one until an injury got me the boot. So you can start to realize how much I wanted a genuine Merry X-Mas thread to the troops at home and abroad.
I knew exactly what this thread would turn into, and I'm glad it's someone other than on the right who points out what has been happening over the years in the Politics forum.
At least we got rid of that guy who actively posted he hated anyone in the military, linked them to Nazis (no, not Murtha), and believed they deserved to die as much as terrorists. Though I have the warning tag because of it.
