I recently received my Driver’s License renewal. Interestingly enough, the DMV is now asking drivers if they are veterans. Well, now, that got me scratching my head and wondering: “Why do they want to know?” According to various state’s DMV web pages, having this veteran’s designation added to your license (to paraphrase) ‘is to to help you receive benefits, discounts and freebies from businesses who honor our veterans, and for you to be recognized for your service.’ I also found this page.
Huh…
Then I got to thinking…
Last year, it came out that the Department of Homeland Protection and the Federal government have alerted law enforcement all over the nation of the possibility that our veterans could become “home grown terrorists.” and that is also given part of the reason why they are offering tanks, military choppers, automatic weapons, and other such military grade weapons, in case of a veteran “terrorist” insurgency.
As the “Peter Parker” cos-play fans say: “My ‘spider sense’ is tingling.”
