(16,184 posts)It's about the cowardly fucking Congress that has absolutely given up its role in deciding these matters, not to mention having to be cajoled into even passing the most basic protections for our veterans.
It's about the failure of the media, mainstream and independent, to even try to cover veterans issues. One weakass question in three debates doesn't cut it.
And finally it's about the 99.9% of people who just don't give a shit about us anymore. They're not the ones seeing their parents get sent off once a year for fourteen years and not being sure they'll ever come back. They're not the ones having homes destroyed by suicide and post-traumatic stress. They're not the ones watching their kids grow up from the other side of the world.
This is a problem everybody caused. Virtually nobody's hands are clean in this, and we all need to hold our heads in shame, sit in the corner, and don't send another unit overseas until we've thought about what we've done.
