If this government gave one half as much concern for our people in the military or the voice of the people we could have had our troops home and safe years ago.
There is no greater connection we can have with these men and women than to want them removed from the dangers of a theater of war or invasion that was neither necessary or warranting the sacrifices of life and family such as our troops and their family have made over the last 10 years and in the course of America's propensity to have an armed conflict somewhere approximately every 15 to 20 years...all too often for less than immediate self defense.
It doesn't help to justify this governments position in doing this in light of the mass of information that is currently available through current technology that has shown more than one would like to admit, that this government is often complicit in creating the very conditions and situations that have put our sons and daughters in uniform and in peril for little more than corporate incentives and the desire of the military industrial complex to continue to establish itself as the fourth column and most powerful branch of this 'democratic, representative republic' which constitutionally does not include them in the role of governing membership.
While many choose to see Veterans Day as a day of memorial, others such as myself see it as a day of defeat and sorrow in that so many have sacrificed so much so often, for all too frequently, little more than less honorable political ambitions.
