I appreciate the hell out of them because I'm not walking on an IUD in some strange country nor will I take a bullet answering a domestic violence call here in the States. BUT they are doing a job just like the folks that pick watermelons, corn, fruit to put on our tables. They work in some of the harshest conditions known to man, so that we are well fukking fed. I appreciate them just as much, probably more. All this patriotism is bullshit. NO ONE cares about our vets. Stop the phony shit. Like I said, I hire vets all the time and NO ONE does jack shit for them. It's a huge fallacy that these folks think that when they get out of the military they are going to come back home as heroes. BULLLLLL SHITTTTT. If they don't learn the proper skills, they will not find a job AND NO ONE will give a shit that they are broke and in need of mental health.
Have you looked at vet benefits? Do you really think it's better today? What exactly is Trump working on for veterans. Dare tell us more? Could it be the executive orders he signed to freeze vets pay? Maybe him reducing workers at the VA hospital? Or how about him trying to shift money from the Vet homeless program? EVERYONE says we should take care of vets BUT NO ONE wants to pay for it. How many people in congress have kids that serve? Nobody. These entitled folks wouldn't dare send their kids to fight made up wars. They damn sure aren't going to commit money either.
My dad fought in 3 wars. He was buried with full military honors. My first year out of college I made more money than he ever made in the military. Years later I had to take care of him because the military couldn't. I ended up paying for doctors and round the clock care that the military never would/could. It really pisses me off to hear people say how much they love their vets and how they stand proud for the anthem but I know deep down they don't give a shit.
