Thank you 'going on hope' for this thread!

I read someone's post, can't remember who, but someone just back from Iraq.

Said, "What the h*ll, you people don't even act like there's a war going on." Or something like that...........

Made me feel so horrible for our spoiled country. This must be so isolating for our vets.

My Gosh, how sickening it is, War for Oil, and people can't even pay their mortgage, feed their kids, go to the doctor or dentist............and we are the richest country in the world. This is the price of freedom?

I accidentally started on this subject at a party in my yuppy lake community here...........They all stopped in their tracks and glared at me cause I said something they perceived as 'anti-American.'

I shut up immediately and made a joke out of it........have to live with these people.........but the Denial is Sickening! The rich are so selfish, it seems...........my ex comes from a wealthy family. I never saw someone who put others down, talked about 'class', so uncompassionate...........I was appalled (oh and he's on DSHS and 'collecting' from his Mummy!)

TO ALL YOU VETS ON THIS FORUM............I'M SO SORRY WE ARE SO IN DENIAL...........WE LOVE YOU AND WE SUFFER ALONG SIDE YOU!!!! You need our care, I'm going to start researching how I can get involved to help those returning.......
