Jesse Ventura: Military doesn't 'fight for our freedom'
« on: November 12, 2014, 02:30:50 am »
The most hated man in the US doubles down.

Quote
Former wrestler and Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura has some harsh words for the armed forces this Veterans Day: If given the option today, he'd opt out of military service.

"I hate to say it, but no, I would be a conscientious objector today," the Navy special forces veteran said in a video posted Tuesday. "I don't believe that the military fights for our freedom."

"They give them all the ra ra at the stadiums, and they cheer 'em on," said Ventura, who served as a Reform Party governor of the North Star state from 1999 to 2003. "But when the veterans come home, we pretty much forget about them. They're old news. They're yesterday's garbage. And it's time to move on to the next war."

What a f*cking dildo.
Why?  Well, because I'm a bastard, that's why.

He's just looking for money as the left's antiwar Vet. I wouldn't be surprised if he's funded by George Soros.
