Why does America pretend to care about it's soldiers?

Question

Americans couldn't care less than it already does about it's soldiers. The only group that cares less is America's own government who not only fails to supply them well, but fails to care for them as veterans. Ask yourself why America took 60 years to build a WW2 memorial for it's vets AFTER most of them were dead.

Some people can say they care...but that's just talk. As I wrote...the US build the WW2 memorial after most of the soldiers died. Simply..the US DOES NOT CARE about it's soldiers. Many other civilised countries have done far far more for their own. But Americans always make themselves feel better by looking at poor and evil countries to compare themselves to.

Answer 1

We do care. You either do, or you don't. The only cowards that don't are the people like you. Anybody who doesn't care about our soldiers are probably to chicken **** to admit it because they know they will be bashed because they also know that 95% of Americans do care about our soldiers. The only time you people will actually come out an say it is on the Internet because we have no clue where you live or who you are...so why would it matter anyway if you were bashed? It wouldn't. This isn't the first time we've seen you people. The only time it would matter to you is if you stood on the street at a Welcome Home Soldiers parade and shouted no one cares about our soldiers because you know you'd probably get your *** kicked. I don't think that's ever happened. I don't know why it took us that long to build the memorial. To me, and I'm sure most Americans really don't care. We know what those 16 million people who served for our country did for us in WWII. We don't need a memorial to remind us. Sure it's nice to have...but I'm not gonna complain about how long it took them to build it.

Answer 2

It's funny. All these caring Americans, like the one asking this question Probably never served a day.

I too am a Viet Nam Vet and guess what I got spit on too, down town San Francisco, by one of these troop loving but war hating liberal wackos.

I personally think the "Wall" is a waste of money. My Dad was a Marine in the South Pacific, and survived Iwo Jima. He could care less about a memorial.

I am service-connected at 100%.
I use the James Haley VA Hospital in Tampa, FL.

I have received nothing but the best and most courteous treatment possible.

This hospital was built in 1992, I believe. It is very, very clean and modern. It has some of the latest most up to date equipment available. It is attached to the USF Medical department. I firmly believe for the most part you get treated like you treat as far as service goes. Most of the time if you get mad and are never satisfied, it is because you have been too obnoxious to help.

There are exceptions, like this thing at Walter Reed, but when it came to light it was handled very fast and efficiently.

By the way. The VA just settled on land for a VA Hospital in Orlando, FL. It will be a half billion dollar facility. It will house the latest state of the art equipment and personnel.

But the government doesn't care of help our Vets?

Answer 3

Which helped WWII veterans more, the GI Bill which paid for any vet to get a free college education or a memeorial built for tourist to look at?

War memorials are funded by private donations with the land SOMETIMES provided without cost.

I say a nation that gave college scholarships to young veterans to build better lives for themselves cares for those brave young men.

A marble statue might make the vet feel better but ultimately makes little real difference in that vet's life.

Answer 4

Magority do care, The new Congress and House does not, but the Democrats already showed the are against America.

Someone stated Putting them at risk over Oil. If you would investgate you would know the War in Iraq is not over Oil. But you just been listening to the Dems to much all. Your beginning to bleive their Lies. But if that Lie was true, it's better than sending them to a place where we have 0 Interest in Like Clinton did.

Answer 5

A lot of Americans do care. That's why politicians have to pretend to care or they won't get elected. Problem is that politicians aren't all truthful and once elected forget what they promised or said while on the campaign trail.

Not all Americans are like Hanoi Jane and Hillary Clinton. Dedicating a memorial to our enemies - North Vietnam. While saying how much they support the US troops.

Answer 6

I believe that the vast majority of Americans want nothing but the best for their soldiers. Occasionally oversights occur, some things get past us as fallible human beings. But a caring public recognizes many of these things and alerts gov't officials, media, etc., in order to get the conditions rectified. American is a caring, thoughtful, nurturing community, as a whole, and we should all be thankful for being here.

Answer 7

I watched a couple of minutes of the anti-conflict rally and really some the interviews with those individuals. All they confirmed me is that truly do favor to artwork from a script, all of them sound an identical, and make no experience in any respect. Jane Fonda has accomplished no longer something of substance for most, many years and her talk on the rally became no longer something more suitable than a resurrected version of her previous anti-conflict rant. I only wish they could save in ideas what their activity is, they are entertainers, type of like circus clowns, and could persist with what they understand perfect.

Answer 8

Yawhoagin, or whatever your name is, how dare you call yourself an american. If i had my way, i would drop you off in baghdad myself. You pray that your own military loses and are killed. I have lost friends there, and can only hope if we get hit again on our soil, that you are in the building as it falls.

To the one who asked the question, what country are you from, might i ask? On a previous question you stated that civilized countries are better than america, what countries are you speaking of.

Answer 9

I'm thinking it is the cowards that stay home and hide, and profess that they care are the real culprits. A simple but poignant saying came of the VietNam era..
If you weren't there.....Shut the **** up!!!
The ones that care for the vets are the ones that support the cause...By bashing the Commander in Chief and his administration, along with crying that we are losing, you are only ruining the morale of our troops. It is you and your Liberal Traitors, that don't care about them, you only care about your Liberal Issues....
We are the best equipped military on earth. When I was in we walked everywhere with a cotton shirt to protect me. My steel helmet was my only armor.
As for VA Care, myself and my Marine Veteran son get the best care anywhere.
You need to stop reading papers and watching CNN, FOX and the other Liberal Traitors.
We don't need Memorials...we know we have done what we were sent to do. Memorials are for the guilt ridden, to ease their guilt that they didn't serve .

Answer 10

STFU. America really really cares for its soldiers. People were fired from a military base because they couldn't help our wounded. We want our troops to come home. We don't need another WWII. I think that your problem is the fact of how the Executive branch of government is taking this. You don't hear anything from Sgt. Cookoo Bananas (a.k.a Mr. Bush) regarding the death of troops or the army base that was poorly kept. Other than that, the nation has been taking extreme procautions on other military bases.
I think YOU pretend to care about our troops. It's your fault we have protestors out there protesting our prescence. I know it sound bad in Iraq, but here in San Antonio, I've been listening to someone live in FALLUJAH who's been saying that the war is going better than the media says it is.
We care about our troops. You don't.
BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT '08!
