		<description><![CDATA[It's once again Veterans Day, the 11th day or the 11th month of the year. Originally it was called Armistice Day because 11:00, November 11, 1918 marked the end of World War I which people optimistically called "The War To End All Wars."

It is a day when Americans specifically remember and honor the best of us, the men and women who serve or have served in our armed forces.

The title of this post is, <em>Another Veterans Day</em>. That is not meant in the sense that it is Veterans day again.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s once again Veterans Day, the 11th day of the 11th month of the year. Originally it was called Armistice Day because 11:00, November 11, 1918 marked the end of World War I, which people optimistically called &#8220;The War To End All Wars.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is a day when Americans specifically remember and honor the best of us, the men and women who serve or have served in our armed forces.</p>
<p>The title of this post is, <em>Another Veterans Day</em>. That is not meant in the sense that it is Veterans day again. It is meant to call attention to <em>another sort of veteran</em>, one often overlooked by the majority of us. The dogs who serve alongside those brave human soldiers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://cheezburger.com/View.aspx?aid=2829593344"><img id="_r_a_2829593344" title="Spare Me A Thought When You Pray For My Comrades" src="http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2009/11/11/129024425381096154.jpg" alt="Spare Me A Thought When You Pray For My Comrades" width="450" /></a><br />
<strong class="highlight">Please Spare Him A Thought When You Pray For His Comrades</strong></p>
<p>There are currently approximately 2300 <a href="http://www.uswardogs.org/index.html">Military Working Dogs</a> serving in active duty across the globe. They and their Handler-Teammates are invaluable to our ongoing efforts against terrorism and Muslim insurgency. They are literally our front line troops in detecting mines and Improvised Explosives Devices (IEDs) and in Search and Rescue operations.</p>
<p>Indeed, these canine soldiers have been so effective in Afghanistan that it is reported that the Taliban and Al-Qaeda have offered bounties for their heads.</p>
<p>So please spare them a moment&#8217;s thought today when your praying for our troops, both living and dead, because they&#8217;re our troops as well and they ask for so very little.</p>

<p>Sick Vick, due to his celebrity status, served a mere 19 months in a federal minimum security facility and escaped all VA state prison time for his unfathomably disgusting, pernicious, and subhuman crimes. He is currently on parole and is due for full release on from federal custody on July 20,  2009, and then faces three more years of supervised probation.</p>
<p>The arrogant piece of filth hopes afterward to resume his NFL career!</p>
<p>One can only hope that one or more people ensure that Vick&#8217;s deranged fantasies never come true. It should rot in poverty and anonymity until it finally betters the Earth by dying and removing it&#8217;s stench and disease from the human society it lurks within.</p>
<p>Hopefully such a future, a future without hope for Sick Vick, will come about by lawful means. Hopefully the NFL will not debase itself so much as to allow some like Vick ever put on a uniform again.</p>
<p>If, through greed or coercive racial pressures, such a legally arrived at future cannot be, then I must hope and pray to Morrígu that some right-thinking Americans render this creature physically incapable of playing any sport &#8211; <em>or mocking humanity by looking actual people in eye or walking on two legs.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The canine community, realizing that neither the ASPCA nor PETA could provide proactive protection from thugs like Michael &#8220;Sick&#8221; Vick, has adopted their own countermeasures to some of the evils and risks of dogfighting:</p>
