Apparently my post was grossly misinterpreted... To clarify, in that particular instance, the intent of the program was for vocational training and did waste taxpayers money. However I also believe that most of our warfighters are grossly underpaid and under appreciated. Additionally I do what I can including welcoming home our returning troops at a local base and other associated duties. I also nearly always offer and often insist that those in uniform go ahead of me when waiting in lines, Etc. I could go on but I won't. BTW, I only missed out on Vietnam by about 3 Mos. or I would have been right there with you...
