If it’s a holiday where an American tradition is being honored, you can count on Salon publishing something with the intent of ticking people off. Mission accomplished on this Veterans Day:

Stop thanking the troops for me: No, they don't "protect our freedoms!" http://t.co/F5qjIFeEfP via @JD1871

Nice try, but, in honor of our nation’s veterans, we decline to click.
@Salon this is asinine. I don't even understand the point

A touching Veterans Day post from Salon bemoaning the horror that is pro athletes thanking the troops. Jeez http://t.co/JvnGdjzb3C

@Salon_Politics @JD1871 Are you kidding me? You put this out on Veterans' Day?

@SonnyBunch @JonahNRO Oh like those people ever watch sports without just looking for something to hate America over.

An alternate headline has been suggested:
@SonnyBunch @JonahNRO Salon – "Don't thank the people that have killed more communists than we can create"

Perfect.
However, you could almost set your watch by that kind of thing:
Both Salon AND Michael Moore being assholes on Veterans Day? ITS LIKE I DON'T KNOW THEM ANYMORE!!
