I hate war and I don't particularly care for the glorification of our warriors that has become de rigueur [View all]

in recent years. I'm tired of fighter plane flyovers at sportsball events and giant flags on stadium grounds with people singing "God Bless America".
But dammit, when we send people off to be wounded and maimed, we OWE them the best care possible when they return home! We don't need private groups like Wounded Warriors or Kickstarters to support particular veterans in need, we need our government to step up and spend whatever it takes to treat PTSD, disabilities caused by gunfire and explosions, and those caused by environmental poisoning on the battlefield. If it takes more than a few billion dollars to provide this care, lifetime care if necessary, so be it. And I don't want to see another homeless veteran, ever. End of rant,
