Not even close to what I said, but w/e.

I'm grateful for people who fought in WW2. I can't really say that I'm grateful for anything after that, though, so I suppose I'd fall under the catagory of "ingrate". I'm an ingrate for good reason, though, so it's not necessarily negative. I'm also an ingrate when it comes to our president, but I don't see people getting pissy about that. Ingrate is in the eye of the beholder. I take it as a compliment.
As for veterans? I don't have to agree with someone's vocation to want them not to be shit on. Our veterans are quite often treated like absolute shit and they may benefit from my help just like any of the other causes I champion.

I don't have to be unbiassed, so asking it of me can get a "No, thanks" without me breaking any rules. It's a shame that more military officers aren't allowed to speak their minds. I've seen plenty of troops say how the war is wrong. Generals, even.

Wow, perhaps I need a lesson in government.

You know that's not what I said. He, himself, made a reasonable decision. It had nothing to do with policy.
