Although I tend to agree, it’s kind of crass say it out loud, like the man on TV trying to guilt me into helping Izzak go to school, be fed rice and drink clean water. There has never been a generation in my family, to my knowledge, that didn’t serve in uniform, but I don’t think you owe me money because of that. I knew what going into the service entailed, my father was in three wars.
If you have military-age children who have not served in this decade's wars, then you owe a debt — meaning money — to those who did. That's the premise of a new fundraising effort by three wealthy American families who want to help U.S. veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I don't find anything wrong with that, and I doubt you do
My father served in infantry in Germany. He told me to stay out of the military when I was 17 and go to college. He told the grandkid to stay out also who joined the Marines anyway.
Why do you think he told us to stay out?
