Shouldn't the vet be happy because the right he sought to protect was honored?

I've only been lectured on the Pledge, etc, by family members of veterans. All the veterans I know are fully aware that the United States is a pyramid scheme and its wars are blood money for oil.

I'm not American so I'm happy to hear that the veterans know why they went thru it at least.
