Support The Troops. Support The Veterans.

Don't talk to me about supporting the troops until you can publicly rebuke those who mock and demean our troops. Which people deserve rebuke?

Rebuke the ones who stick removeable yellow ribbons on their SUVs and accuse others of not supporting the troops, and then commit a sin as shameful as enthusiastically supporting the 'leader' on whose watch military and civilian officials

• punished those Veterans who personally - or whose families - complained publicly about the horriffic conditions in VA and stateside military hospitals
  
• cut funding for facilities in which Wounded Veterans received follow-up care
  
• ignored and/or demeaned the War Wounds that do not show well when the leaders responsible for all of this do photo ops - the invisible wounds: mental illnesses caused or triggered by the trauma of war..
  

By the way, when you get around to rebuking the guilty, do it before the upcoming election, not after it. Hiding from truth and justice is a political action intended to help more of the same "leaders" get elected.
