Far-Left Salon Soils Itself with Infinitely Disgusting Essay Attacking America's Military

It's been 70 years since we fought a war about freedom. Forced troop worship and compulsory patriotism must end.

David Masciotra, you know, one of those stank-ass hipster doofuses who thinks he has something worthwhile to say about veterans and actively serving troops, vomits on to the pages of Salon to lecture the American people on how much he is ungrateful that American troops are responsible for the environment in which he lives, you know, an environment that allows him to criticize those defenders of his freedoms – not just troops, but he’s not grateful for the cops, either...

Never forget. Salon's views on military are shared by Democrat loco district voters.

Walter James Casper is virtually ideologically identical to Salon's David Masciotra. He should also be shunned forever.

David Masciotra is basically a spokesperson for the mainstream Democrat Party left. Shun these America-hating reprobates.
