So I was wondering, since you can get pretty 'good' info on the war in the international media, this is to say that you can read about the biggest incidents and power shiftings but not much more.. that what is the situation with the veterans?
I know that veterans often get shafted, which is the ultimate crime governments can do. Order your defendors to risk their lives for you and die for you, and then forget about them when they come home.
SO there hasn't been eye catching news about this, kind of weird. I think I haven't seen any.. state level welcoming? Also about the dead soldiers, I haven't seen any grand home comings for them, so what's the situation on that one? In here, you need one dead outside our borders and you get a hero's welcoming usually. Should someone die in a real combat operations, I would expect nothing less than few high ups, flags, and the full military home coming for the body.
So what's up? Haven't seen ANY pics or nothing? I know in the beginning of the war it was like let's not print these images to the media, it brings the morale down. But now that it's not so anymore, where's the big home comings, where's the high ups attending from these? Are they too busy?
This is not a bashing thread, I'm just wondering, because seems to me the vets are getting shafted once again. Fast forward 10 years and I bet there's loss of benefits from the contract, forward 10 mroe years and I bet pensions are cut and/or lost as well. That's the military way
