(39,909 posts)A better way to "honor" those who have given so much (or had so much taken from them under fraudulent conditions)
would be to:
*Double the funding for the VA
*Double the pensions for wounded and disabled vets
*Double the benefits to families of soldiers killed in service
*Double the funding for those programs that help vets find good jobs
*Double the funding for a NEW "GI Bill"
Now THAT is HOW to HONOR our soldiers!
....NOT to use them a props for applause lines at the SOTU.
Maybe at the next SOTU, the President can read the names of ALL our soldiers who have been disabled in ALL of our Occupied Countries in that year?
I don't always agree with Will Pitt,
but on this one I do.
Strongly.
I objected when Bush-the-Lesser used our soldiers as props.
I still object when ANY politician does it.
