Veterans Day

In the grand tradition of veterans day, the news media is discussing a topic that generally doesn't interest them the other 364 days of the year, veterans. Plenty of outlets had pieces ready to go about the dire suicide statistics among veterans, and they have people shouting "we need to do more!" Ok, do more what? What CNBC, CNN, and Fox forget to tell you when they were explaining why war is such a good idea is that it is an experience that destroys people mentally, and the sad truth is many of these people can never be put back together. 
These are people who are afraid to sleep because their nightmares will take them back to horrifying and violent experiences unimaginable to the rest of us. Thousands of these shattered souls are returning here, and there is absolutely no way to cope effectively with it. When society screams, "We need to do more!" what they are really saying is someone somewhere needs to just somehow make this go away and since its literally impossible to do this what can we do as a society to help alleviate the desperate situation many returning veterans find themselves in?
 Well, many veterans are finding themselves stuck in low-wage work because of the dismal job situation what can we do about that? Oh, nothing because society also decided some people don't deserve a living wage. What else is there? 
Well, Chicago decided to close its mental health facilities so you can forget about spreading some of the burdens around from the already over cumbered VA. Well, would you look at that it appears there is no solution within this context so we should probably stop letting rich people send our family members to war. That's exactly what it is. The stats are there Congress is filled with millionaires presidents aren't exactly working class people either. IF you want to know what the military experience is like for their kids, look up Hunter Biden, son of good ole Joe. He got booted out of the Navy for being a coke head but what were the consequences for him? Oh, he was just put on the board of a huge national gas company.
