Sen. Kirk's Memorial Day email message - returned to sender
I sent back Sen. Mark Kirks Memorial Day message, in which he paid honor to our combat servicemen, with the following message:
Dear Sen. Kirk:
It is important we honor the brave service men and women who have sacrificed so much fighting America's wars. However, how dare you shamelessly pretend to honor them when you've spent your entire Congressional and Senate career calling them to fight in senseless, murderous and bankrupting wars that are destroying our once great country as surely as they have destroyed or damaged the lives of several hundred thousand of the million or more you have egged on fight in needless wars, not to mention the millions of foreigners who have suffered under our endless shock and awe. You think nothing of borrowing 40% of the trillions of dollars these wars are costing us while the nation's manufacturing, infrastructure, educational and health care systems decline before our eyes. You and you friends in the Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex get rich and full of yourself pretending to be super patriots. You should all be on the front lines yourselves instead of padding your non-combatant military resumes or pretending you are strengthening our freedom. The only freedom you are strengthening is the freedom to continue your reckless spending on the worst form of human endeavor. In so doing, you guarantee the recruitment of more and more foreigners to resist our wars of conquest, and pile up more and more casualties to falsely honor again next year.
If you really wanted to honor these fallen heroes, resign from the Senate today and spend the rest of your time on earth trying to make amends for you fervent support of these monstrous wars by working in the anti-war movement. I've been working in it since 1963, beginning with opposition to our senseless, murderous and bankrupting Vietnam War. I can assure you, we need more volunteers. Trust me, you will achieve an epiphany and wonder whatever possessed you to be such an ferocious war lover in the first place. And you will finally honor our fallen heroes in the way they deserve.
Respectfully yours,
Walt Zlotow
