Snubbing Those Who Bleed

Way back 1991, cities around the nation were giving parades to soldiers returning from the first Gulf War. A notable exception was Seattle, which resisted honoring the evil military.
Finally, the city relented, but with restrictions, and a very insipid parade ensued.
Seattle still has no use for the military, particularly military voters.

"Less than a month before the November election, the U.S. Department of Justice threatened to sue Washington state because it was moving too slowly in mailing military ballots overseas.

At that point Washington was the only state that hadn't mailed its overseas ballots."
