It breaks my heart, the 'dis'

these men and women endure,

after all they've gone through for US !

What will it take for them to gain the proper respect,

they soooo deserve, from our country, and the world, as a whole ~

How can we possibly NOT take care of them, when they are so in need ?

Any ideas, insights, or perspectives you might wish to share ?

Or, maybe just a prayer, that a solution is on the way ~

Even a simple thanks, to them, is cool too ;0 )

Get them out of the middle east. What the terrorists wanted was to get us in a no win war and bleed us to death both physically and economically. We would be much stronger as a nation to protect our borders and use our military defensively. We are strong enough now to take care of ourselves but that won't be the case much longer.

Start with the White House. Vote him out. He's decided to gut military spending.

I have a suggestion. They should stop following orders from a man who has no power to issue them since the Legislature hasn't declared a war since WWII. They're being used and abused, their morale degraded, many even committing suicide, etc because they're treated as a hired mercenary force but advertised as "defending the country and Constitution". They find out they're actually the tools of men who are destroying our country and ripping the Constitution to shreds. I have friends and family in the military, and though they say they understand what they're doing is wrong, they "need the money".

Sad, but true ~

Many join up for the money...

I respect them, all the same, and then some,

because I'm sure it's the LAST thing they'd choose to do ;p

And then to be so abused, and disrespected, is, truly, a crying shame !

Thank you very much for sharing your insights here with us, historian 65616 ;0 )

I agree with you %100 percent my friend. These valiant men and women sacrifice so much to protect our freedom and fight for this country and yet so many(like the failure in chief Obama) still do not pay them the respect and give them the thanks that they so richly deserve. God bless our troops!!

For starters, people that are so cold-hearted have got to change their opinions of our troops! They aren't out there on a personal vendetta, they are out there per order!

I've always felt that is thier 'plan'...

Get us over there, and slowly pick us off ~

We could sooo benefit from our troops, here, instead !
