I put a magnetic ribbon on the back of my car. What more do you want?

I want you to vote against war mongers.

That's easy enough for me.

Perhaps Spexxvet should have said "more than what is now considered to be their due."

Actually he said they should be rewarded which sounded to me like they were getting a bonus for going to war. I said their due, inferring soldiers should get this care automatically. If you want to give them a medal or a box of chocolates, over and above, fine. But medical care is as basic as food and bullets.

This really chafes my ass. War or peace, it's part of the deal with them. We pay them less and supply room, board, medical, pension, and materiel. This is their basic contract with the government....with me. I don't renege on contracts.
