If America Really Cared

If America really cared about its military veterans, it would insist that every member of the military be paid a living wage, and no military families would need food stamps or food banks to eat.

If America really cared about its military veterans, it would insist that the full range of medical care and health care be made available, quickly and at little or no cost.

If America really cared about its military veterans, it would insist that veterans receive training and jobs commensurate with their military responsibilities.

If America really cared about its military veterans, it would not knowingly elect leaders who will sacrifice the lives and limbs and mental health of military personnel by sending them to fight less than necessary wars, prosecuted primarily for ego, reputation and to enrich the few.  And it would use lawful means to get rid of such leaders whenever and however they arise.
