While they themselves and their families stay home, then screw them when they come home by cutting VA benefits.
The whole reason they had the GI Bill after WWII, was that they were afraid of riots if the troops came back and were put in soup lines from which most had come before the war. They witnessed the Bonus Riots after WWI and had worries so many coming back home, trained for combat and leadership would lead an insurrection.
