Flutterby™! : Veteran's Day

It embarasses me that this post is a day late, but given that until I gave it some serious thought I would've skipped any observation of Veteran's Day altogether, a little time out to consider what those who serve in our armed forces seems like a good idea. Even if you don't like the uses to which the United States Military has been put for the last few decades, consider that the guys with their fingers on the trigger have been amazingly uninvolved in national politics relative to many other countries around the world. If nothing else, most of 'em limit their involvement to the same sorts of involvement any other citizen has. That alone seems worthy of a lot of respect.
