Why should a young person volunteer to put their lives, health, and families at risk for an unrepsonsive and uncaring DC poltical elite?
You see Iraqi and Afghan vets waiting for and being denied access to benefits and care that they earned on the battlefield. Their families are required to sacrifice too much while soldiers are on deployment.
The Washington DC elites and bureaucrats treat deployed soldiers' families and veterans like shit.
I'd die for God, Family, Community, and Country, but not for my Government. My Government is not worthy of my sacrifice.
