How about jobs for all of us?
Pertaining
to WiStJ "Obama: Create more jobs for veterans" article. Things don't
always appear crystal clear to me but most of the time I can see enough
through some of the murkiness. I understand why Obama is on the
veterans kick. Kiss up to them. Win their approval. Appear more
nationalistic and patriotic and win the "hearts and minds" of
soldiers/veterans to your side. Prove to them that ...you
care about them, win them over, and then use them as a pawn in the
future. I get it. I do. But, wouldn't it be nice if all Americans that
wanted and needed a job had one and not just veterans returning from
conflicts that never should have happened in the first place. I'm sure
some of you won't agree with what I'm saying but, I'll say it
none-the-less. We are not, at this time, drafting soldiers for the
armed forces. The soldiers entered into a contract with the government
of their own free will and were then sent to distant lands where they
saw and did unspeakable things. But, in my mind, that doesn't entitle
them to any more of a leg up to a job than any other American. Jobs for
all Americans! Not just the ones that did the hard work for the rich
and powerful.
