We know where that was coming from. Vladimir Lenin called such people "useful idiots". They were following their marching orders. It pains me that today an old-school Socialist like Bernie Sanders openly admits what he is and is shamelessly running for President. It pains me worse that there probably are millions of useful idiots that would vote for him! [/politics]

"Useful idiots following their marching orders"? Not sure what that has to do with Bernie Sanders who consistently opposed the costly US adventures of recent years. The best way to honor veterans is to take good care of and honor those we have and stop creating new ones.

Here are a couple of victor ads with military themes. My Father was Air Force in the 1950s. I did not serve in the military, but I did work for a DoD contractor that made equipment.

Great ads. That's something else that I am on the hunt for.
