Bill Maher is typical of what the leftwing progressives really think of our men and women in uniform...
Bill Maher disparaged World War II veterans and members of the "greatest generation" on Friday, saying the heroes who fought to preserve the freedoms that he enjoys were dumb.

Bill Maher is not a libertarian, but there's nothing fundamentally inconsistent with being libertarian and anti-military. In fact, the two positions are, imo, perfectly consonant.
The "greatest generation" concept is a lot of bunk and Maher has made some remarks in the past indicating he believes in it, so I'm happy to see he's reconsidered.

I am anti-military industrial complex, but how can anybody speak like that amongst the generation that preserved this nation. These weren't dumb men. Back then, it was common to have ivy leaguers fight in War, as there was a sense of shared sacrifice. Even amongst the most liberal of people, many of them concede that ww2 was a justified war. My grandfather was college educated and had bullets fly over his head in the European arena. Maher is just an ungreatful, shallow, person who is concerned only about himself.
i appreciate veterans, but they are not a protected class.
True, we arent a protected class and I dont think we aim to be.
