We should spread this far and wide.

I have a medical appointment at the VAMC in Seattle soon. I'm going to print this out and tape it up in every elevator, pin it to every bulletin board, leave copies in waiting rooms and restrooms and just generally plaster it everywhere.

Don't allow our mellow nature up here in the Great Pacific Northwest to fool you. We have a large and passionate community of Vets out here.

I have yet to find a Vet that likes the idea of this draft-dodging, chicken-sh*t, "can't remember what foot the bone spurs were on" poser demanding a parade of 5000 to 7000 military personnel marching by him, saluting him, as he smugly chin-juts himself for photo ops that he will force down our collective throats, at a cost of (What is it now ?) $5 million. This has nothing to do with honoring Vets (dead or alive). It's just him stroking his . . . . . ego.
