Did you know that 25% of the homeless population are veterans?
Did you know that 25% of the prison population are veterans?
Did you know that 115,000 stop-lossed veterans have not applied for their compensation for being stop-lossed?
That's a pretty shitty track record if you ask me. :(

1. Drafted veterans deserve all and every praise and benefit. |

Volunteers deserve our pity and help.Career military deserve our quiet resignation to the fact that they will give right or wrong.Generals deserve our cautious concern for there resolve to win and creatively execute their orders on the most deadly terms. But it is our responsibility to honestly give all those in our service their due.
Yes, It is sh*tty, and - like the rest of this broken government - irresponsible.

Whether we agree with certain wars or not, our veterans do make huge sacrifices and deserve our respect. They go fight these wars nobody else wants to fight only to be treated horribly when they come back all broke up and disabled and hurt. We can do better than that.
