Television: They touched my private parts, doused them with ice water and hung me upside down for days. They raped me anally. They reeked of alcohol.
Dad: That was me!
Woman: Thank you for your service.
Intrigued enough by the cartoon to look it up. His lawyers described the rectal feedings as “rape”, which may not be what many people perceive as “rape”.
I’m a veteran. This strip doesn’t offend me. Having been there, I know that the military attracts more than its share of sociopaths. I don’t like to hear “Thank you for your service.” because, in most cases, they are empty words. Too many politicians mouth those words while trying to cut or privatize the VA.

There are things other than this that many don’t want to be “thanked” for. They just did what we sent them to do. Just say, “Welcome home.”

Oh Ted! You have offended my patriotism again! You will have to suffer the jingoistic backlash of the American exceptionalists!

What are you saying? Our soldiers are psychos? You are painting with too broad a brush.

As Jim Wright said, Republicans impeached Bill Clinton for getting oral sex in the oval office, but now they openly embrace rectal feeding.
Who says Republicans/Fox “news” viewers aren’t capable of growth?

Rights don’t have to be earned. That’s why they are rights.
