It’s difficult to think about Veterans Day and not remember all the Americans, mostly young, some not, who were used and abused by the Bush Crime Family’s illegal terror wars. And now, to remember Iraq war veteran Scott Olsen, who was critically wounded when police shot him in the head during an OCCUPY Oakland event a few weeks ago.

Today we would do well to remember all the brave men and women who volunteered to serve this country, they should be honored and respected. And may they never again be mistreated by officials in positions of power who use them as pawns and props to serve their own political, corporate, and economic interests. They deserve better.

In case you missed it – Noam Chomsky had some words of wisdom to impart at Occupy Boston last week. Here’s a transcript:

November 1, 2011 | It’s a little hard to give a Howard Zinn Memorial Lecture at an Occupy meeting. There are mixed feelings that go along with it. First of all, regret that Howard is not here to take part and invigorate it in his particular way, something that would have been the dream of his life, and secondly, excitement that the dream is actually being fulfilled. It’s a dream for which he laid a lot of the groundwork. It would have been the fulfillment of a dream for him to be here with you.

The Occupy movement really is an exciting development. In fact, it’s spectacular. It’s unprecedented; there’s never been anything like it that I can think of. If the bonds and associations that are being established at these remarkable events can be sustained through a long, hard period ahead — because victories don’t come quickly– this could turn out to be a very significant moment in American history.

The fact that the demonstrations are unprecedented is quite appropriate. It is an unprecedented era — not just this moment — but actually since the 1970s. The 1970s began a major turning point in American history. For centuries, since the country began, it had been a developing society with ups and downs. But the general progress was toward wealth and industrialization and development — even in dark and hope — there was a pretty constant expectation that it’s going to go on like this. That was true even in very dark times.
