Supporting the Troops.... the lack thereof, Speaking with forked tongue Options

[Hellfighter]

This one's nauseating;
Regardless of whoever the leader is/party they represent, if they're committed to spending hundreds of billions of dollars in a 'war effort', a large chunk of that should be set aside to fully and unconditionally accomodate the needs of its frontline fighters during and after their service. Where are the neo-cons/Bush admin and their 'support the troops' rhetoric now sticking up for vets on this issue you'll read- disgusting.....

Can I suggest you who are able to do so, drop your Governors a line or two on this. It's not right at all.

It was a different time snot. basicly any man who could serve went over seas during ww2 and the woman worked here in the us.when the men came back after ww2 it was alot easier then when the vietnam vets came back ,got spit on and had to deal with a tough job market and economy in the 70s. my dad was in vietnam and i remember how tough it was all the way till i was ten (1980)things were real tough! for the record ,alot of the interviews with the ww2 vets talked about how alot of the guys marriages ended because of all the post war problems,so i dont think things were so easy for the ww2 vets either.

did the gulf war even happen? that seems to be the thought of that war but i have a few personal friends who were messed up pretty bad from that war/conflict ,there was action and it did happen.



i had posted in forums of a real good friend of mine.he was a kid who had wealthy parents but was fucking up alot ,drugs,drinking ,crime etc.. so he joined the army and quickly cleaned his act up . i believe he was in the rangers (not exactly sure) and when it came down to the iraq war his unit was the first to attack ramadi,i found this out from his mother because its hard to get info while the battle just started.during the battle he made the front page here in florida because he was handing food to a refugee,ill see if i can upload the pic. after ramadi his tour came up and he reinlisted without hesitation and it was mandatory for him to go state side for a certain amount of time before going back to action.within a week he got married to a girl and his mother started to wonder if he was ok,then they broke up 3 weeks later. he was about to go back and went to his mothers here in fla fro 2 weeks and all hell broke loose.he started doing weird things ,which made her nervous and then one night she came home and he was in the kitchen with a knife and he didnt know who she was,she literaly had to call the police to restrain him as he thought every one was the enemy.they were STILL going to send this kid back in 3 days! his mother had to wait outside of a senators office and beg him to help her ,which he did (can you believe it?) and got him delayed .long story short hes still fucked up but hes here.

it might be hard to work other jobs if your delusional. if youve been killing talaban and iraqs (and doing it well from what i here) it might be hard to work at mcdonalds with akbar .
