I don't want to sound cold hearted but I find it difficult to muster up much sympathy for todays' vets. There is no draft and what's become of returning vets is no secret yet they continue to enlist. As long as they continue to enlist, the Empire will always have its' storm troopers for its' maniacal foreign policy.....and more broken vets
What you say is indisputable -- and not cold-hearted. I heard the govt is running out of willing Eloi as these wars drag on and people want to change the channel (where DID all those stupid yellow ribbons go, hmm?). This article could be interpreted either way, I spose --
Officially it means Uncle Scam is toughening up his standards, hrumph hrumph, but the real bottom line appears to be that thanks to the total deracination and banalization of youth it's slim pickings for the DOD.
