It's stories like this that break my heart, and there are thousands of them. I'm furious at the government for throwing medals at our wounded warriors as they kick them down the VA steps.
I'm willing to bet that as more and more young people experience the disillusionment of veterans, and see first-hand how our government really treats them when they cease to be useful, our "all volunteer" military will dwindle to a mere shadow of itself until someone in high places wakes the hell up, realizes that being in government is MORE than just destroying the other party while gaining power for their own, and understand that every single person in government has the absolute DUTY to work for the good of the nation instead of working for the good of themselves.
Rather than criticising this post as American bashing and you as anti American, I accept that you are acknowledging grossly failing US policy and wishing for improvement.
