I'm not a musician, so I used Suno to generate music, but I wrote the words. I've always had mixed feelings about veterans day. Love to hear any feedback. I also have a whole album of songs I've written about being a veteran that I can share if people like this. https://suno.com/song/df1c4e60-954e-4954-b407-3c94e04bf0c1

Nobody cares about your AI slop.

IMO this is what happens when mods can't restrict their community to subscribers only. Trolls cruise All to stir up shit in fora they don't care about or even knew existed.

Just don’t play the song,

I couldn't load/play it anyhow.

So say "thank you for your service" Don't you mind if they look nervous

I always cringe internally at TYFYS but try not to show it or to appear ungrateful. I also avoid Free Food days like the plague.

Your Facebook post proves you care

In the early 90s when I support the troops bumperstickers were omnipresent I was known for ranting that "saying you support the troops is not the same as supporting the troops".

Mid-coffee ravings: IMO the best way to support the troops is

  • keep them out of harm's way unless the country is under attack, or as part of an UN force if some other country is attacked.
  • actually declare war in the former case (we haven't done this since WW2)
  • stop the blatant sexism of male-only selective service, or abolish it altogether in favor of mandatory national service for all young people 18-20.

Seems to me if the rich and powerful had skin in the game they might be a little less cavalier with the lives of others.
