Do you know that the only ones who give us life and liberty are our service members?

Question

It's the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us the freedom of the press.







It's the Soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us the freedom of speech.







It's the Soldier, not the politicians
That ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.







It's the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag.

Answer 1

Even when their military career is over our veterans are still one of the main contributor's to our society and the whole world. Just Goggle medications and ailments used world wide since WWI and you will find hundreds of thousands of research projects and study groups that have been done on our veterans and soldiers of all ages. They have always also included family violence and dysfunction, drug and alcholo abuse, homelessness (I could fill up pages here) and at the end of the research data it states: this research has been done by the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, or Walter Reed Army Hospital (I could fill up pages here again).

This is great for society and the medical community as a whole, but it is sad our new young Veterans still have to beg and grovel for proper medical treatment when most of the medical technology available today has come from our Soldier's and Veterans!!!

A few mental health professionals are also donating their office and a few hours a month to some of our young veterans. These are professional doctors who realize our new veteran’s only need their expertise until the VA medical centers are properly funded enough to step into the 21st century. Several law firms in Washington, DC and NY have offered their time, pro bono to help our new veterans through this slow broken system. Our local colleges can even help by offering in their paralegal courses a four credit class on "veteran benefits law". Many young veterans are still fighting a war to just receive proper medical treatment! Our medical community can END this war now. The knowledge our medical community has already received from veterans of past wars needs to be used now on this relatively very small percentage of society. If just one-fourth of the more affluent private medical/mental health facilities used their offices and expertise just a few hours a month on our new veterans (pro-bono) every new veterans will have a chance to resume a comfortable life as a productive member of society. When society needs it, Attorneys have done pro-bono for centuries. Why are a few hours a month given to our young veterans (temporally) so hard a concept for the medical community to grasp when so much of the medical knowledge now available has come from the research done on our veterans since WWI?

Answer 2

I love all honest and dedicated people, and even those who have been misguided.

How sad it is that our dedicated service members are asked to invade and occupy a foreign land without justification. The lives lost in the honest pursuit of good values, may have been squandered by deceitful leaders.

In Iraq, our mission is not honest. Most people in the US and around the world believe that it has a lot to do with oil and with the money that can be made while supporting military action.

Since 9/11/2001, the citizens of the US have fewer rights including:

- Less freedom of the press.
- Less freedom of speech.
- Less liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
- Less life.

I honor those honest patiots who gave their lives in the pursuit of high ideals. I question those leaders who placed our sons and daughters in harms way for hidden and dishonest reasons.

Let's provide all citizens better health care and other benefits. Let's stop supporting large corporate interest who have derailed America and have stolen from the treasury.

Answer 3

Freedom of the press is guaranteed by the constitution, not the solder, the Solders role is to protect and defend the constitution, from enemies both foreign and domestic.
