Remember...

On this Veteran's Day, when more soon-to-be veterans are readying to ship out to an unjust war against the innocent population of a weak, helpless country, remember:

"The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who remain neutral in time of great moral crisis."

-Dante Alighieri

My thoughts are with all who are being sent into harm's way and those already there, regardless of how you view this particular war.

Be safe.

Not. Gonna. Happen.
