Today we honor those who served.
Not cowards who waited 48 years before going to Vietnam.

Money is nice, but being able to speak my mind is better.
"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)"

"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together."

Field Negro is the Bravest of the Brave.
A Real American Hero.
- All the blood that's been spilled in war,
all the lives given that our can be more full and free,
all the seas of tears wept in pain and sorrow,
the broken lives, the maimed bodies,
and look, see what it is, what it will be, to which we dedicate ourselves:
non-existent "points" tallied for snippy comments and rude behaviors that we'd punish our own children for saying.
- How many will be able to keep a civil tongue in their heads for even one mere day? And not even a whole day, not an entire 24 hours, at that - but for a few hours out of a day?
- I don't think I'll be able, or even want, to look at the Comments section here tomorrow. Too many refuse to acknowledge that honor has but one color.

About 22 veterens commit suicide per day. The Veterans Crisis Line number is 800-273-8255.
Armistice Day, by Paul Simon:
On Armistice Day
The Philharmonic will play
But the songs that we sing
Will be sad
Shufflin’ brown tunes
Hanging around
No long-drawn, blown out excuses
Were made
When I needed a friend, she was there
Just like an easy chair
Armistice Day
Armistice Day
That’s all I really wanted to say
Oh, I’m weary from waiting
In Washington, D.C.
I’m coming to see my congressman
But he’s avoiding me
Weary from waiting down in Washington, D.C.
Oh, Congresswoman
Won’t you tell that congressman
I’ve waited such a long time
I’ve about waited all I can
Oh, Congresswoman
Won’t you tell that congressman

Served who or what Mr. Negro? You proudly claim to be a "world citizen". As usual I'm confused about your worldview.
Not mike from iota, he has left the reservation.
There's always a war on somewhere.
And especially no fake assed nobserving punks who pretend to be military officers.
Yes we salute and thank ALL of our veterans.
Especially our black veterans who still fight to defend a country that continues to see and treat them as second class citizens.
Not Cowards like the POTUS...
and to think that the people who voted him IN overlooked the fact that he
dodged the military
colluded with a foreign government (going against the freedom that America fought for)
insulted a war hero (McCain)
insulted a military family
refused to show his tax returns
served up a tax plan designed to benefit the rich and devastate the poor and middle class
But then he did say that he could shoot someone in the middle of fifth avenue and still get elected.
What the fuck are you talking about, Queenie?
I didn't even make a post on this thread.
Am I putting a cob up your well-used asshole?
BTW...who WAS the last President to serve in the military?
You stoopdid bitch.
Too bad vets can't be honored with VA services that are adequately funded. That don't have months of wait time for medical care.
Veterans' Day--a chance for more congressional displays of hypocrisy.
The last phony patriot to serve was the last one to use white privilege and wealth to get slotted into the Texas Air National Guard at the height of VietNam and then didn't honorably serve his full commitment. That'd be dumbass dubya.
Too bad vets can't be honored with VA services that are adequately funded. That don't have months of wait time for medical care.
They can be and deserve to be taken care of. The problem is wingnuts have to disabuse themselves of the notion that the wealthy can't afford to pay any taxes which help our government provide for the general welfare. It's Veteran's Day. For their sake vote wingnuts out of power everywhere.
Uh huh...If that is not another fake poster name proof that Queenie uses another fake poster name a "mike from Iowa", I don't know what is.
Admit it, whore.
You seem to know a lot about the military, been playing soldier again little fake assed pussy? We all know you wanted to be in the navy after seeing the Village People video punk.
Why don't you admit you're too much of a pussy to actually serve you fat assed dumb pussy. Now go eat fried butter or whatever you fat dumb assed pussies from the fattest and dumbest state do.
Go sign up to serve or are you too much of a biatch? You can steal an officer's title but can't be bothered to actually earn it. Typical.
^^^ for sure! he's probably this guy:
https://i.imgur.com/ImsD1v6.jpg
I’ve said it here a THOUSAND times, NO ONE who hasn’t served in the military should be allowed to run for President.
That would disqualify a lot of smart capable people. I don't know about that one Doc.

NO daily bathing WOMAN, is interested in the pencil d*cked, wanna be military officer, psycho.
BAWHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!
And for the unpteenth time, Yisheng and Mike aren’t the only ones here that think you’re a stupid, low life, hick desperate for attention on a Black Blog. And you’re STILL too stupid to distinguish comments from Mike and Yisheng because YOU are the one with NO LIFE/CAREER with the time to post here ALL FUCKING DAY YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!!!!

Oh well, so now we have tRump and that wouldn’t have happened if military service had been required.
Yisheng is neither smart nor capable.
She has demonstrated it here a THOUSAND times.
Even I wouldn't rape her.
A well deserved tip o' the hat to my Father of blessed memory, brothers who served and are no longer with us, plus the other brothers who served and are still alive. Both BILs served. Classmates who served and sacrificed their lives for wasted reasons.
This is yer day to be honored, just not by deplorable wingnuts.
I think that civilian control of our half-trillion-dollar-a-year military is an excellent idea.
I don't like the way Fergus is trying to use it, but Fergus won't be there forever, and even he would be doing a better job of it if he'd had his ass kicked a few dozen times when he was younger.
-Doug in Oakland
A program to help veterans avoid suicide by getting them service dogs, trained by other veterans has been kicked out of its offices by Fergus' administration.

President Trump has deescalated Obama's foolish war in Syria and has stopped supporting ISIS, which is now collapsing. This will save a lot of lives, including those of American soldiers.
He also tamped down Obama's extremely dangerous provocations over Ukraine that threatened to start WW III.
He has worked with China to address the issue of North Korea launching missiles over its neighbors and threatening the US with nuclear weaponry.
The Trump administration is pursuing the most sane foreign policy within living memory.
Well, all you have to do is require that tax returns have to be shown. Problem solved😂
New mayor of St. Paul, MN is an Alpha!
0000006!
Drumpfuck deescalated the war in Syria by putting more troops on the ground? Uh huh. Drumpfuck has goven Putin carte blanche to annex whatever he wants and Drumpfuck will hold Putin's pee pee tail while ge pees.
mike from iowa has a sad. It pains me to look at you deplorable wingnuts and realize what cracking good crash test dummies you would have been. What utter waste.
Have a rotten night crash test dummy wannabes. I am out of here.
Extending much gratitude to the men and women who exemplify the nobler spirit of our nation. Happy Veterans’ Day :-)

Field, what do you think about these unqualified judicial nominees being put forward by trump and approved on partyline votes? The latest guy trump nominated for a lifetime federal judgeship is 36 years old, has only been an active lawyer for 3 years AND has never tried a case. WTF?
https://www.google.com/amp/www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-judge-20171110-story,amp.html
If that ain't affirmative action what is?

Absolutely love it. The activist judiciary is being replaced with people who will uphold the law, not make it.

A functionally illiterate woman spending 40 years in college trying to get a medical degree.
"...approved on partyline votes?"
Good thing Harry Reid changed the rules for approving judges, isn't it X?
"Good thing Harry Reid changed the rules for approving judges, isn't it X?"
It was going to happen anyway, it should have happened when the gang of 14 or was it 7? Gang of whatever, they should have done it years ago. Was a super majority required for judiciary below the SC level?
"Absolutely love it. The activist judiciary is being replaced with people who will uphold the law, not make it."
But at least nominate qualified people but it's the Republican Party so what do you expect?
I'm so jealous and butt hurt that an educationally superior Black woman will earn 5 degrees in 40 years, including a medical degree.
Thank you for the information...
