Outback remembers.. but Veterans would rather forget
I saw a moving commercial with nice music for Outback Steakhouse.. they are honoring Veterans Day and they want people to know it. Unfortunately for veterans, though, they honor may give more pain than pity..The plan: offer Veterans Day freebies
The commercial said that if you are a veteran today you can get a free blooming onion.And that’s nice. I mean, freebies are good and thanking a vet is great.. but.. it got me to thinking.. The news this week was about how veterans body parts were lost and simply tossed into a landfill, how we are increasingly getting involved in skirmishes throughout the world, the most recent being Libya and Northern Africa..
And when the veteran comes home, after all the death and destruction he or she witnessed, what can they get? An onion. A big giant fried onion. Thanks vets.. here, have an onion……
I just don’t get it.
