Young poor men fighting rich old men's war.s a very few making serious bank out of the military industrial complex. It's a very old story. They don't give a fuck, never have. Vets are invisible mostly, trotted out as window dressing or a useful tool to quell dissent or advertising. Colin Kapernick takes a knee during the national anthem.? ..an affront to the vets who suddenly "own" the flag. Students at Dartmouth don't want to display the flag after Trump? Send in the vets who "fight for our freedom" how ironic. How about freedom of expression and dissent? Vets and military are false patriotism used by the fat cats in this country, by any country really.
