Dear Poor People.....

[TAW]

They only care about the soldiers in terms of using them to accomplish goals overseas and to protect our foreign interests. They don't actually care about the troops as people. As long as there's a man, woman, or child to hold a gun, the Republican party would gladly send them over to make a profit. I'm not saying the Democratic party is any less reprehensible though.

Well by protecting foreign interests and accomplishing goals(and if its profitable for the nation, even better), they serve the nation. Of course, when serving your nation, you must be selfless, but those who have done their duty must also receive something back from the nation as a reward for their selflessness and willingness to fight and bleed for the interests of the nation.

How about the people? Why are they not scraping something together to help the veterans that have perhaps lost limbs in this course?

Generally people have a lot of appreciate for the soldiers in the states. A lot of their families support them and people try to do charities but there's only so much that the general populace can do. A lot of people are struggling with money as is, which is why they join the military in the first place.
