“Unless and until America returns to its moral, fiscal, and social sanity, we will continue to fail the very men we send out to protect us.”
I look at it as a two sided sword. We might be failing them, but the system is causing them to fail themselves also. And they are being taught that the failure is acceptable. And many of the repair actions being advertised are even closing down without the military member noticing it.
And the public is being conned into the gist that we care so much about them while the government is trying like hell to find ways to cut the services going to them because the feds over spent themselves like giving money to countries that can’t pay it back and are only taking a handout because it is offered. Charity begins at home. But it isn’t looking that way.

This is a very conservative website that we are on. And many FReepers are veterans and have proudly served in the military.
Yet there are numerous threads wherein many veterans say they would not serve in todays Armed Forces, nor would they urge and encourage their children or grandchildren to serve.
