i see a lot of flag waving a ribbon wearing going on around, (now mind you i live in a religious conservative territory) and i got into a discussion with some people in what it means to support the troops.
i asked them what they have done, or people in general, i said there is more to it than fly some flag or posting a ribbon on their car.
i asked how many of them are willing to quit their nice job, or disrupt their routine to join the Army? none said they would ever do that even though the Army really needs people.
then i asked who they voted for, then i informed them that they voted for people that cut VA funding, they had no clue to that at all.
so what does it mean really to support troops? i think it means a lot more than flying a flag or wearing a ribbon.
as a disclaimer, i don't think everyone should get up and join either, i am just saying it seems a lot are hoo rah for combat action for our military, but yet they are unwilling to do it them selves.
