US Citizens don’t care
I read a commentary in the Union Leader this morning of the SSgt in the National Guard on US attitude to those serving. Only ten percent of the citizens ever serve in our military leaving ninety-percent enjoying the benefits of freedom. Today’s returning veterans will receive the same if not harsher, more ignorant attitudes with the political jester of change to make it better for future returning US Military. Each war or conflict has veterans returning to a society that just does not care for they (society) are to busy living their own lives. Children join the US Military for many reasons other than patriotism. Many if not all learn and become grateful for what the USA has and gives it citizens. We learn teamwork for not only our US Military but with the citizens of the USA. Respect and honor is burned into our heads as we survive the enemy to return different individuals than you saw leave. We ask to be treated equally as that is the message I learned from the SSgt’s article. Equal means understanding, which cannot be done if censoring the words of US Military Veterans is the protocol of the news media.
The same political attitude of we will correct the wrongs happening to our returning US Military so future generations do not return to the same as today’s is. Each generation hears the same rhetoric. When citizens that fought for freedom are forced to stay silent for the demons we hold scare the public the answer can never be lock them up for the safety of the public as is today’s policy. The government Red Flag on US Military Veterans is the perfect example of the rhetoric. The same attitude of every US Military Veteran I have heard is we will serve again if our country calls regardless. These are the men and women that protect and defend our Constitution and they deserve more than rhetoric congress pays them as the news media slams them with silence through censorship.
I am a 100% disabled US Marine from the Vietnam Conflict. God it just does not make since.
