In the US alone there are 300,000 Veterans living on the streets-
Another 1.4 Million are at risk of becoming homeless-
More than 67% of our Veterans served this country for at least 3 years-
While you are watching this a Veteran is losing his family-
Divorce rate among military couples has increased 42%-
An estimated 460,000 Veterans suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder-PTSD
While you are watching this a Veteran somewhere is not getting any help-
5,000 Veterans die by their own hands every year-
That’s one Veteran every two hours-
These numbers repeat in Australia,Canada and Great Britain.Saying thank you isn’t enough,get involved,donate,volunteer.If you can’t do that,then just listen to them,stop and take the time to listen,it means more than you know.
They sacrificed and bled so we didn’t have to,they deserve better.
Good one, Darin. Thank you.
Seems like the right place to put this:
‘The Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon’

Sadly there are a lot of PC and SJW brass left over from Obama.
I was concerned that the USAF General who’s the top military commander of our nuclear arsenal was one of “those”, thanks to Yahoo “News'” headline, to the effect that he would refuse an order from Trump – turns out, the General, like most military conversant with the Constitution, said he wouldn’t follow any illegal orders – if he (the General) was unsure if an order passed Constitutional muster, he’d sit down with POTUS and get any such orders within legal parameters.

My only concern would be what exactly is a “lawful” and “unlawful” order?Seems to me we have recent evidence that the UCMJ is up to interpretation,why not the nuclear protocols as well?
Truth of the matter is the decision all comes down to one man,be it the POTUS or the HJCS as to whether or not we use nukes in a conflict.
I have always maintained that despite all the safe guards put in place the only thing that has kept us safe is the moral temperament of all the leaders that have their finger on the button.The thought resides in the backs of their minds that if they use that weapon that their own children and grandchildren will suffer the same fate as those of the enemy.
To me that’s what makes the mullahs and the little fat boy so dangerous,they have no such moral anchor to restrain them.
