If us military veterans didn't do our job, you wouldn't have the freedom of choice of which mall or store to go to and of what to buy whenever you want. One would have a lot of restrictions. The main language would not be English. So make the time to thank a veteran, he and she is a reason you're free and independent. Be thankful and give them a job in the entertainment industry. They have transferable skills. A lot more capable than some of the knuckleheads I've met who've never served.
Due to the high number of military veterans coming back from war zones with P.T.S.D. issues from spending excessive time in the war zone without ample rest, we should reinstate the draft to have more troops available to rotate. Civilians should have a mandatory military service commitment and vested interest in the United States as they become of age and taxpaying citizens.
