***WARNING RANT***

I want to know when did this country get so low that making fun of a Veteran for being injured in war is ok???? I am NOT being political. I am PISSED OFF. My uncle is STILL MIA from Vietnam. My son is a Veteran of the Navy. My sister is a Veteran of the Air Force. My brother is ACTIVE MILITARY in the Army still serving this country. My other brother is a Veteran of the Army. My other brother is a Veteran of the Marines. My uncle is a Veteran of the Marines.

I can go on and on and on about my family serving this country to protect the very freedoms that give each of us the right to say almost anything without fear of punishment. Just because we have that right, doesn’t mean we should always use it. The Saturday Night Live skit about a Texas Veteran losing his eye to an IED in Afghanistan was NOT FUNNY in the least. You don’t have to be politically motivated on EVERYTHING you do, sometimes it’s ok to BE A DECENT HUMAN BEING.

I have seen and heard so much hate during these elections. One thing we can all agree on is we are Americans, and we are HUMANS. I do not know how anyone can think that making fun of an injured Veteran is funny. I do not care the hows or whys or anything else. There is a place down deep that some of us call a soul, some call it our conscious, and some call it our “gut feeling.” Evidently some people DO NOT CALL IT ANYTHING OR THEY SIMPLY IGNORE IT. I AM MAD THAT WHAT WAS DONE ON SNL IS THE LOWEST, SORRIEST THING I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME.

Just had to get that out there. I am disgusted, disappointed and most of all, embarrassed that HUMAN BEINGS ARE SO CRUEL.

CHANGE DOES NOT OCCUR UNTIL THE CURRENT SITUATION BECOMES TOO UNCOMFORTABLE TO REMAIN THE SAME! WELL, THIS SNL SKIT MADE ME TOO UNCOMFORTABLE!
