283. Of course not, my comments are the disconnect from the reality of how our gov't treats individual

men and women of the armed forces. It just feels like a falsehood is being represented, that being that the USA cares about it's everyday soldier heros. It isn't the fact that veterans are standing in the rain, it's the regaling of an image that to me feels like it's so disrespectful to the realities of our collective through gov't, through Legistors, etc, just are so failing them. I'd love it if/when it represents the honor we should be giving our men and women, then put it back. See if I was one of those men I'd be marching in protest on the same spot to bring attention to the facts of how soldiers and veterans and families thereof are treated.

It's not about war, it's not about veterans honoring veterans, to me about the actual image, the one the OP asked us to embrace, and I can't. I feels like embracing a lie of the past, recent past as well as long term past, these issues have plaqued to some extent all our war heros, and feels like a step to remaining complacent about demanding improvement in the future.

I get that no one seems to understand what I'm trying to say, but it isn't what it's being portrayed as.
