Combat veterans with PTSD and their pets hate the 4th. The early birds last night set off firworks just after my son (who has PTSD after Iraq, Bosnia and elsewhere) let his dogs out to pee. It was less than two minutes and the dogs ran from the fireworks and out of the yard. One was hit by a semi-truck and instantly killed. Even we who TRY despirately to get away from these chickenhawk morons and the “celebrations”, and protect our animals as well, are victims of thoughtless “patriots” and their G.D. explosives.
BTW: hate the words to our national anthem, as the moronic public has NO IDEA what that “rockets’ red glare”, let alone the “bombs bursting in air”- raining deadly shrapnel down on the troops, imply. Key was out on a boat when he wrote the poem, not observing the carnage at the fort.
As to “land of the free” “home of the brave”, chickenhawk invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, and “security measures” around the country from fear of ISIL, and anyone else we’ve ticked off with our invasions, hardly illustrates our national “courage and resolve”.
But hey! Fly the Confederate battle flag and hope for the good old days of 150 years ago! Set off some fireworks (and burn your house down!).

To be happy on the 4th, I buy a 5th on the 3rd.
