Alterian posted:The frustratingly mad thing about this is a lot of times women who get an abortion around 12 weeks are doing it because their 12 week scan came back really bad. This happened to a friend of mine. She wanted the baby, but was told it wouldn't be born alive so she went through with an abortion. Having poo poo like this shoved in her face isn't what she needed at an already hard time in her life. No, it needs to be a super deformed 12 week old fetus.

quote:Rules for the Non-Military There are literally none of these on the list that I find even vaguely warranting an rear end-kicking, and most of them not at all. I have a slight inclination towards people taking their hats off for the national anthem, but that's only for people that are actually into it but just being oblivious. If someone wants to remain seated and hat on for personal or religious reasons I could give a gently caress, I just find it slightly silly when people who are all gung-ho and judgmental overlook a commonly-agreed ceremonial gesture. Hell, I don't put my hand on the heart for the anthem because a) that's a civilian thing and b) it's vaguely fascist. But personally I'll stand up out of general courtesy over the custom. More importantly, the list has jack about : - Support politicians who emphasize having proper during and post-military mental health services available, and take seriously the issue of sexual assault in the military. - Lend your political support to measured and reasoned approaches to military applications and resist jingoism and adventurism - Refrain from glorifying warfare and violence, keep in mind the practical and human cost to all sides - Asking someone you barely know if they killed anyone in the war is pretty drat invasive unless you have an awfully good context Not to be all preachy, but it's galling to see a claimed vitally important list of things to do for vets, that has not one single substantive of significant thing above petty culture-war bullshit. And coincidentally no actual financial, political, or spiritual demand on the reader other than "keep this in mind" or "kick his rear end".

A few things: When it comes to the National Anthem, I stand with my hands behind me. I am an assistant coach of a girl's basketball team and I have had people come up and ask me why I do not put my hand on my heart. It was honestly how I was raised and I leave it at that. Alterian posted:The frustratingly mad thing about this is a lot of times women who get an abortion around 12 weeks are doing it because their 12 week scan came back really bad. This happened to a friend of mine. She wanted the baby, but was told it wouldn't be born alive so she went through with an abortion. Having poo poo like this shoved in her face isn't what she needed at an already hard time in her life. I just had a person post this earlier today. I just linked the snopes article disproving it. This is what she responded with: "This picture may not be accurate but its the idea. I'd like the thank the woman (whoever you are) who chose life for my husband [insert name, he was adopted], God has truly blessed me and my family." She never thinks about people like your friend or my wife. My wife had already had one miscarriage in June, We found out in November that she was pregnant again but by the beginning of December, we had found out that there was no growth. They told her that if she continued on with the pregnancy, it could lead to it becoming toxic for her and making her infertile. We had an extremely hard decision to make but we went and had a D&C. It crushed my wife to the point where if she even saw a baby on television, she cried. I could only imagine if she had seen and read an image like that.

The rant sounds less like it comes from someone who ever actually served and more like the ravings some chickenhawk military fetishist to me. In the Marines at least, saluting without a cover is completely verboten, so on some weird level it really bothers me seeing civilians without a cover on saluting by bringing their bladed hand to their bare head. And civilians saluting while wearing a ballcap or whatever just seems kinda silly. But those are purely subcultural things, I don't have any deep abiding emotion about it. If for whatever weird reason I ever held a civil position like congressman where military guys are supposed to salute me, I'd feel pretty weird returning their salutes bare-headed. I've occasionally had old vets in civvies salute me after some discussion of military stuff, so I returned that in civvie so as not to be a dick but I felt really silly. In any case, I think just standing up quietly when everyone else does works fine for general observation of the custom, or sitting quietly if you have a personal objection. Barring people being oblivious and just yacking away when 95% of people are standing or silent for flag/anthem/Taps I find annoying, mostly because they're dicks in US flag t-shirts who are presumably into this kind of thing.

I'm not sure you're supposed to salute back in that case. The military is subject to the civilian leadership, although Congress isn't in the direct chain of command like the president was. I recently read someone's (Rachel Maddow, maybe?) explanation that you only salute your superior officer, and so the president's marine guard should salute him but not vice-versa. But then Reagan started saluting back because he thought it looked good in photos, and now if the president doesn't salute the soldiers he's seen as disrespecting the military.

This remains my favorite statement on the national anthem.Fake Obama posted:And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.'
