Do you guys think my siggie is offensive? I've had a few posters tell me that it is.
The whole story: I was inspired to adopt my new siggie after seeing an Australian politcal cartoon.
I was touched by how one of our allies showed deep appreciation for our military heroes. I figured if they could do that, then I could at least adopt a new sig based on the cartoon. That seemed to be an appropriate way to honor veterans as Veterans Day approached earlier this month. I haven't been moved to change it even though the holiday has passed.
I am proud of our heroes currently serving in the military, and of the history of bravery and commitment to freedom that women and men in the armed forces have shown throughout this nation's history.
Apparently some folks find my sig offensive because it overstates US involvement in history. Now dumb ol' me... I thought it to be a beautiful tribute from one of our allies. My intentions are pure. I only wish to say something honorable about our veterans.
I hope you don't change your sig. I think it is a very nice tribute to the brave men and woman who have served in the military and are serving right now. I say that if some don't like it......too bad.
