It is not my job to prove you wrong, only to open your thoughts and the thoughts of others.

My point was about how poorly Republicans and Democrats, Conservatives and Liberals alike care for our military personnel and veterans and their families.

Those who give and have given it all for us are now too often left without adequate medical care and others left to beg in the streets. Administration after administration has provided flowery praise about their troops and vets, but it has been lip service at best.

We have 30 Million Veterans living who have served their country and another half a million standing military deployed, non-deployed active and active reserve/guard.

Our long history and current policies regarding the care of our veterans and their loved ones is pitiful. We have an obligation to our military and veterans that has not and is not being fulfilled.

If only, any would have paid heed to the wise words of our first President, George Washington: "The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive veterans of early wars were treated and appreciated by our nation."-George Washington–
