    Here’s one from the Middle East: Fuck your veterans. Y’all were right when you were calling Vietnam vets baby killers, and Afghanistan and Iraq weren’t much better. And here’s a corollary: Get the fuck out of the Middle East.

        Lots of us don’t want bases “over there” or in fact anywhere. The casual nature in which Americans think having bases in other countries all around the globe is normal and fine is highly alarming.
