The military has to paint a lot of stuff. Sometimes, they need to remove paint too.

There are numerous problems with having hired out disposal of paint dust to private contractors, and myriad and diverse other pollution issues.

Given how many Americans have died from cancers produced not only by chemical pollutants caused by the US armed forces, but nuclear fallout after 500 or so nuclear tests worldwide, it is debatable if we should thank our military for their service, or consider them our most deadly enemy.

It is undeniable that the US military has killed more US citizens, whom they are sworn to protect, than have our foreign enemies.

Men of honor, who intend to protect Americans, must view their duty in that light.

I can see no point in serving otherwise, unless you just want a job where you can commit acts of mayhem, and you don't care who gets hurt.

That's not service, so such men deserve no thanks.

Our protectors need to stop killing and injuring us.

I'll thank them to.

Thank you!
