100%. If I sat down with a veteran and they shared stories and I understood what they did and sacrificed and how it affected them, I think I would feel naturally compelled to show them gratitude. But I’m not the guy to go up to some random old dude at a casino buffet and thank him for his service just because he wore a hat that says he served. I don’t know him or his service record or anything. Blindly praising service members feels like the weird, jingoistic brand of patriotism, like the pledge of allegiance or singing the national anthem before a baseball game.

You’re saying this is Jon Stewart explicitly implying that he’s considering a run?

The controversy stems from Coca-Cola's ties to “Israel” and its inclusion on the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement's list.

One of the biggest pop culture fandoms on the planet is using their collective voice to speak out against the ongoing genocide in Palestine. That’s a pretty cool story as far as I’m concerned.
