Every TV station in Wichita, KS, is starting early on this
Memorial Day. They are running commercials telling us how supportive they are
of “our heroes.” Apparently anyone who wears a uniform is a hero now. It doesn’t
matter what they do (or did) in that uniform. We know that some of our heroes
have murdered families in Iraq. They are all taking part in defending an
empire. The US pushes its values on others against their will and anyone who
resists this is labeled a terrorist.
For companies as JC Penny, it is more the bandwagon and the
use of the popularity of the military to sell us stuff. This is just the
beginning. We got three more days to blather on about the military and its
evils. Happy Memorial Day!
