Fact is that after "D-Day" all the veterans were eager to get their sons in with the old Yankee Doodle sweetheart thing.

The Mediterranean War has never been mentioned and today lots of War Vets don't want to see another senseless war 8 years old to be another political one. Which is just like the Vietnam era.

Too many kids are given the promise of an education, should they enlist.
Fact: After being at war for more than 6 years, what else do you really know besides killing. Bringing home with the grief of the casualties of war.

And when they come back home from the war, the VA does nothing for them. They have some of the worst hospitals for vets.

Afghanistan supplies more than 80% of the worlds opium for the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore it makes it a strong hold like Kuwait for the oil. These wars are for business profits and not about freedom as the media makes it out to be.

My sentiments to all the vets and fallen soldiers.
