Sgt_choke_n_strokeAmerica loves thier soldiers until they have to take care of them
So much this. The same people saying “thank you for your service” are the same people that constantly want to cut veteran services. Sure they care when you’re a tool for their goals, but why can’t you then just instantly become an invisible member of society once you’re done?
Oh, you want more?! Wasn’t service enough for you? How dare you be traumatized by killing people and having bombs nearly blow you up! Maybe you should be a man.
But maybe I’m just too sensitive about this…
bampopThere’s no contradiction here. The US military exists to preserve and extend capitalism. Taking care of veterans would be socialist. Being abandoned by the state is the best way to say thank you; it shows that everything they fought for is successful and working better than ever!
