I find it sad that we still send boys off to wars without demonstrable respect for them for our appointed leaders.
By respect, I mean, clearly defined reasons why they are there. What are our goals, and once attained, get
our soldiers out of harm;s way.
Most importantly, FULL SUPPORT for our troops in the field, as far as mission, armour, have engagment
policies go. If they are in harm's way, make sure they can kill the enemy before the enemy kills them.
Let them do their job.
And when they get back, HELP THEM! Remember the scandal about the Veteran's admin?
These folks put their lives in danger for us, we should fund whatever they need to get back on their feet.
Politicians, don't just pay lip service, follow up.
