I've been seeing this meme running around about how we ought to take care of our homeless veterans before we worry about taking in Syrian refugees. I happen to be an unemployed veteran, and the only reason I'm not on the streets is that I have family who's been willing to support me. You know what? I also happen to be completely on the other side of this issue.
Don't do it. Don't use me as the excuse for your cowardice. Seriously, it's disrespectful and demeaning. Neither I nor anyone else in this sort of circumstance has anything whatsoever to do with the question of whether to take Syrian refugees in other than perhaps having our own opinions. I also don't want your pity. Go ahead and have your political opinions, but don't use me as your freaking mascot.
Yeah, I realize that most of the people on this forum probably agreed with me already, but I needed to vent.
