The female veteran is an often overlooked, yet integral part of any band of warriors. She leaves her children and takes up arms to defend a nation of children while others mock her and hers. She is a giver of life and a taker of life. She is strong and courageous. She loves harder than any man, making her the finest if troops. She fights for love, not honor or glory.
The VA will always ask her who the veteran is that she is married to because it is still a common belief that the female veteran is a myth or a joke.
Her boots are greasy, but they are hers. She still salutes her flag and mourns her brothers and sisters in arms.
She cries in the shower. She questions her value though she values others above herself.
She is condemned for leaving her children, accused of being a unit whore, called a lesbian, and has had to work harder than any three men to be regarded with half of the respect freely given to men.
She is alone in her pain and she knows this. She signed up for this. She volunteered for this because others would not.

"I heard an outlandish rumor that a woman came to the VA claiming to be a female veteran."
"Female veterans are MWR tools."
"This female veteran claims to have known combat but we all know she can only type and pour coffee."
"HEADLINE:
Female Veterans commit suicide every single day. But who really cares if she can't handle a typewriter. She should have stayed at home and been a mother? "

Get the female veteran mug.An organization that sought to discredit Senator John Kerry's military service in Vietnam by claiming that he committed cowardly acts and that his medals were not deserved. This group was supposedly comprised of veterans who had served in Vietnam at the same time and on the same type of missions.
Actually a front group for Republican operatives aiming to discredit their opponent, Swiftboat Veterans for Truth suddenly appeared during the presidential race. Their attacks were effective despite Kerry's record of combat service versus his opponent's stint in the National Guard away from combat. Kerry lost his election bid and the Swiftboat group disappeared immediately after George W. Bush was reelected.
The verb "to swiftboat someone" has since entered the American political lexicon as a synonym for an ad hominem attack which seeks to discredit a person, usually made by a thinly veiled front group of operatives.

Where have the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth gone? Here they were, instantly organized and running ads on TV as if they were well financed by the Republican National Committee or something, and now they have disbanded and faded into nothing more than a verb used to describe bearing false witness and attempting to discredit a political opponent.

Get the Veterans Hospital mug.Shortened name for the Corvette. One of the few american cars that has any sort of overseas fanbase. Contrary to what many ignorant 'vette fans think, it is no-where near the same league as european uber-brans such as Ferrari, Porsche or even many beamers or benz'.
While it may go fast in a straight line, look like a shark, and help one to get blown, it is still crap.
Being that it is an american sports car, it suffers from "suspionus americanas sportas". Due to a lack of suspension, it gives a terrible ride (your spine will be totally destroyed within a year of buying it), rattles like an old man getting out of bed, and steers like, well, an american car. Due to the fact this was designed for racing in the broad streets of the good ol' USA, it sucks as a REAL race car, and on the narrower hills of europe, would probably get owned by a mini cooper.
Apparantly prone to malfunction.
