COT: For another perspective, not all Veterans appreciate when people thank them for their service. Oftentimes all they hear and see is someone who decided Service was for ‘someone else’ and not them. It also puts them on the spot and makes them say ‘thank you’, or ‘no problem’, when they weren’t looking to be in that position in the first place. I offer this for a different perspective

COT/Announcements: On Election day, I worked the polls and had to leave my phone off from 5:45 am to 10:00 pm. I had serious withdrawal, SERIOUS withdrawal, but it was actually kind of pleasant to spend an entire day just helping people vote, without being able to obsess over internet discussions of politics. While I certainly want to take whatever action I can to stop or slow the decline and willful destruction of America and western civilization, maybe I (we?) should spend more time focusing on the people and things around us IRL that we can actually affect or change, and less time pointlessly surfing the web and scrolling through Twitter angsting about the things we have very little control over. Then, maybe we’ll have more good days, like I had on Tuesday, with real people doing real things.

The Grunt is Saturday, 7:00 am, at the Lincoln Memorial. I and a few others will be going down separately (for various reasons), but we’ll try to organize a clown car for anybody who is able/wants to carpool.
