Support the troops. If someone says "Thank you for your service" to me one more time I might scream. "Support the troops" is another meaningless statement. How about supporting them when they come home with limbs missing and nightmares that won't go away even in the daytime. How about supporting them when they need a job to support their families and afford food, clothing, education and medical help. I was one of the people who joined up to learn a trade and defend my country. I learned a trade ok. I learned to become a professional killer. I learned to invade nations that tried to better the living conditions and control the multinational corporations who run rough shod over their country and the people. I was a hired mercenary for the banksters who make the most money out of financing both sides in every war.
Yes "SUPPORT THE TROOPS" Bring them home, teach them how to create something lasting, speak out against injustice and crooked politicians, how to grow food and last but not least live in peace with them self and the community around them. Teach them how to wake up in the middle of the night having to go to the bathroom instead of in a cold sweat and shaking like a leaf with memories that won't go away.
"Thank you for your service", blowing apart people you don't know, people you ever met and people who are trying to kill you because you have invaded their country, killed their young men, women and children. Thank you for imposing your Democracy on people who had democracy before you came along. Thank you for being a paid assassin.
