The Plight of The Veteran

Sending people off to fight wars results in death, destruction and .... too many veterans. When you `do' a lot of wars you `get' a lot of veterans.

When you have lots of questionable wars the guys coming back as veterans feel used and defensive ... and pissed off. 

As they get older, and when the society to which they return treats them like shit, they're angry.

That is, they rally around other pissed off guys, they romanticize their shame and they seek simple targets for their hurt and anger. 
 
Easy pickings for little hitlers like Trump, Cruz and Rubio.
 
The plight of the veteran.
 
Too many decent men and women thinking that they did something noble only to discover they were played for suckers.
 
Draft 40 year olds to fight the wars.
 
Send 18 year olds to schools, good jobs and the Peace Corps.
 
Return this nation to the principles upon which it was founded.

    1. Whoever Trplay is it is too apparent that he can't read, has no concern for veterans or is just in a perpetual `wedgie' state. At least take accountability for yourself by identifying yourself to the public. Otherwise, you're just graffiti. But you probably know that.
