Happy Veterans Day to everyone as well! Have a fantastic day and let us Make America Great Again! I'll be taking shots later in honor of my freedom and every American/non-American that has died so that I may live free today. Thanks for spelling it the correct way Hugh. Too often I see people typing here, here instead.

Not all of us need help, and the VA isn't complete shit..just mostly shit. The ones who do need help need it desperately. The ones who don't need it and take advantage of the system can fuck right off (I know quite a few and I cuss them constantly).
Remember, this is a day to honor and thank the service members for their willingness to sacrifice. I disagree with what our leaders have us doing, but we all signed up to help our country out for better or worse. This isn't about agreeing with the purpose, it is about the individuals.
I am not saying this to get you to thank me. Thank someone you know for what they have done. And not publicly on Facebook you virtue signaling twats, do it privately please. It is rather embarrassing if I am being honest. Thank you for the support shown for our troops. We are not heroes, we are just normal people like you who made a few different life choices.

Yes! War should be reduced as well. Spilling American blood for reasons of political/economic manipulation is abhorrent.

I'd say they've been treated by shit by both dems and republicans. The republicans never tried to pass any bills to help the vets and they'll likely continue to not do anything.

Acutally I disagree if someon wants to off themselfes they are free to do so, but it shouldnt be because you been fucked over and promisses were broken.
You know promisses like a good health care if you get fucked up serving your country, or the promised support and advantages for you and your family.
If all of those are fixed the rate is going to be 0% be default. (impossible in RL but you get the point)
