Let’s be civil.

The Vets…sure have done a dirty job in Iraq & Afghanistan and why not use the $$$ wasted on the F-35 Raptor plane…to help vets that took on George Bush’s war against phony weapons of mass destruction…..miserable conditions & long days/years for basically nothing.
We are still wasting money hand over fist in Afghanistan trying to change a 200 year old culture of War Lords and building schools & play grounds….all at the sacrifice of many a good military person who comes home to bleak employment chances….gota be some basic changes or people will stop enlisting & dry up the military pool of war ready troops.
True from what I have been told….some troops in the Iraq war made some very handsome wages….but, that does not last long with bringing back PTSS and the cost to families dealing with the thoughts of what war really leaves in ones memory.

Given the fact that you served and took orders as given. And given the fact that Mitch McConnel says the jobs bill is just designed to make Repulicans look bad in the eyes of the public, you’re sol. Sorry, you deserve better.
