"Support the troops" means put a bumper sticker on your car, wave the flag and abandon them when they come home crippled for life. It means spare no expense getting them butchered, slaughtered and maimed but nickel & dime them to death when they become physically and mentally traumatized. Truly the epitome of American hypocrisy. What a disgrace.
You see them here and there, usually in countries where they can afford to live, barely—Thailand, Cambodia, Mexico. They are the Pentagon’s throwaways. There is the old guy, old now anyway, who took several rounds in one of our previous pointless wars, one in Asia, and ended in constant irremediable pain.

That's my point. We basically do desert them by not giving them the care they need and deserve. Maybe they're considered "entitlements" which we can't afford. It's a national disgrace.
I think we know how to fight and win, the problem is we involve ourselves in ill-conceived wars where there's often nothing to win.
