Politicians don't sign up for wars they send us to fight.

Tho some warriors sign up to be politicians after the fight.

Sadly, those who do that are becoming fewer and fewer.

As a result.

The voice for those who gave all becomes weaker and weaker.

Not political.

Just fact.

We need a new rule when it comes to Americans in combat. Any politician or public figure who advocates putting US Military Personnel into harms way must provide a child or grandchild to accompany them. They don't have to be military, but they have to be in the combat zone with the fighters. That way, the politician/public figure has some of his skin in the game. Then they will think long and hard about getting us into another VietNam or Iraq.

thank you for sharing that

we had a great Memorial Day ceremony on the beach here with a color guard, 21 gun salute, a couple of WWII vets along with us Vietnam Vets and some Desert Storm, Iraq, etc vets. There was also a memorial service for a fallen Navy SEAL with his parents in attendance
