Where's the respect?





I have been annoyed with hearing people tell me, that they could/would never let there husbands serve in the military so they could not be me. Seriously you are going to frankly voice your opinion to me about it and not support me as a friend. Not cool! I never whined to my friends about it, actually I never talked about it but focused on other things. Yes, did I miss him? Absolutely! But if the benefits of health care were not there I would not have survived.   I've read news articles that said the culture in the USA is turned to not respecting our troops. Which saddens me, I'm grateful for my grandparents and others that went to war for our country and everyone who fought for what... I did not have to witness! It's horrible not to see the respect! I've seen it and have seen a great deal of respect from older veterans and some businesses, but the younger generation and most people do not get it.

After the debates last night I feel more lost in which candidate can get congress to not cut our benefits to the military families. But I guess I'm realizing people in the USA really don't care and understand the freedom which they have. Switzerland may be neutral but their people are the army that defends their freedom.

Be respectful of others that sacrifice in your behalf and look at the pay they get before you judge and start cutting benefits--slavery is outlawed and indentured servants a no go, military service will become that if benefits get cut. So if no one goes into the military service. Will a national draft come if military is reduced and we are at war? What then another Vietnam? Where vets come home messed up and are not taken care of. The private-sector will not care nor have the funds to help.
