U.S. Veteran’s letter

U.S. Veteran’s letter

by Peter Macdonald

A Veteran’s Letter to the editor should never be censored or edit. A Veteran’s letter by law should take precedence in the newspapers. All Veterans letters should (no matter how questionable) by law must be printed.

To protect the news media a disclaimer can be place before or after the letter or a law placing responsibility of the truth being on the letter writer. Letters are the opinion of the people. Veterans are the children that give their youth and lives for the U.S. Constitution. Veterans lose that innocent feeling that allows the others (U.S. citizens)to believe and seek harmony. Veterans gain that unrelenting flash-back of memory of the inhuman way that we lived and acted. Every Veteran that has been there see every day (of their remaining lives) that reminder. To censor or edit the opinion of a Veteran demonstrates the artificial respect that the U.S. believes Veteran’s deserve…

A Veteran returning to the “World” U.S. takes off the uniform and blends into society. A returning Veteran for years (if not for ever) will be silent of the atrocities that the Veteran was committed to engage in. Society (protesters state side) dictates that our actions are wrong but the Politicians that have never been there command us to do. Naïve children (just starting life) commit the unspeakable to defend and protect U.S. citizen’s freedom and the veterans come home to be labeled baby killers and criminals. Suicide becomes our only option to protect you (U.S. citizens) from learning the crimes of humanity that we engage in. Many returning Veterans become homeless, have failed relationships or worse and are locked up in jail to protect society from these children that gave everything. Are the Veterans returning to the world to be stereotyped the Veteran Bums? (useless leaches on the political budget) The U.S. politicians have placed limits on care for returning Veterans because pet projects pleases the element of society (voters) better. Veterans no longer serve any use full productive purpose to society.

To limit the words of a Veteran, to censor the opinion of a Veteran, to question the motive or actions of a Veteran is the most unethical, criminal, insulting act the U.S. can bestow on the memory of the children that gave everything for you. I love the United States of America and I believe in a civilized society peace full protest will some day allow this Veterans words and opinion to be heard.
