When a guy wraps himself in the flag, it's not worth the risk of dinging the flag to point out the odd treatment by the colorist of the area under the cap's bill or to wonder what the four dot ellipsis fills in for.
It's more interesting to read about the San Jacinto.
This may be surprising to Mallard, coming from a liberal pacifist such as myself, but I do appreciate the sacrifices made by our men and women in the armed forces and have great respect for our Veterans. I don't blame the people who actually had to go and fight in fiascos like Vietnam and Iraq, I blame the governments and businessmen who sent them there to bolster their arrogance and greed.
I hope that some day we will have no more veterans since there won't be any more war.

It just seems strange how Tinsley is pretending that his father is Mallard's dad in the comic. He already breaks the fourth wall anyway, so why not here?
I suppose it's possible that Tinshley's whiskey-dissolved mind now conflates his own identity with that of his imaginary duck. God knows he must have been pounding them back in the days leading up to the election.

could someone make a point of republicans liking vets so much they want to make more of them?
anonymous-maybe if the republicans actually voted for veterans' benefits
aw, what the heck.

At least he remembered Veterans Day this year.
He should honor the veterans with a 21-ellipse salute.
No, no! Don't you get it? The hat is Mallard's dad! Look at the resemblance between their bills!
...Alright, sorry. (P.S.: Does anyone else notice the weird, fleshy colorist gaff below the hat? Is that supposed to be someone's arm?)
It's probably only a coincidence, but the San Jacinto depicted on the hat was George H W Bush's ship.
It could well be that Tinkley's actual dad served on her too, or it could be that Mallard is in some sense the child of Bush #41.
Anyway, as martyrotten said, respect to all the Veterans. Let's not let our leaders make too many more.

Supporting the troops doesn't mean sending them to die for oil, but keeping them home and welcoming them home.
Liberals want less "Unknown Soldiers"
