			<description><![CDATA[Liberals believe everyone should get a college degree, thus they are expensive to acquire and cheap to employ. I recommend returning vets use their benefits to get trained in a trade. Something along the lines of heating/ventila tion/air conditioning or nursing or some such. Your proven ability plus proper training in their specific service makes you a preferred resource. Pick something that interests you and start saving as early and as much as you can. The sooner you can start your own business the sooner you can write your own rules and choose your own path. That is still the essence of America and the greatest part of our founders' legacy. If any of you are well up the path of a legal career or have obtained some name recognition, America needs you in office to represent her founding ideals. History has been revisited and common sense is educated out of the more and more common college graduate. Read the founders' written works and letters. Learn who they were from them because everything I ever learned about them was a lie. All of us have to know policy and consequence, so study who and when and how and why and bring that knowledge into service inside the electoral body.]]></description>

He and his wife moved 10 hours away from our home for the job. Vets: utilize your benefits; stay positive and thanks from the bottom of my heart for your service.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If you use your VA benefits for school, consider technical and or business disciplines. When the stagnation of the current economic and political policies are unleashed, this country will need rebuilding and redeveloping. Having engineering, computer or other scientific skills along with the ability to communicate ideas and contribute to the development of a business will enable you to contribute to wealth creation, which will be highly desirable to employers. Or better yet, look for a cultural want or need and start a business. Just watch out for the many layers of government regulation which may feel like the weight of body armor and a full pack while you are trying to get something started. God bless all you vets, I thank you for your service. Best Wishes,from an old entrepreneurial engineer.]]></description>

			<title>PX Rangers</title>
			<link>https://michaelyon-online.com/the-afterwar.htm#comment-15461</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I laughed when I read the bit about those in active service who are "PX Rangers", etc., by wearing non-awarded awards. When I was going through BNCOC, on the first day the Small Group Leader walked in wearing Old Abe on his right shoulder, along with a CIB. Having served with the 101st in DS/DS I asked what unit he served with, he said 1/502nd INF, then asked him what company, and he said Bravo, and he said he got his CIB when he and that unit went to Panama. At that point I called his BS in front of the group, because I served in that same unit at the same time, and we had just started block leave the day the invasion kicked off. He didn't appreciate that of course. I still regret not approaching the Commandant about that, but at the time I didn't for whatever reason that escapes me now...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Wake up. They all lie. It's their job. 41 years ago I came home from VN with the same expectations. We were scorned as baby killers and spit apon for our service. Take what you get and move on with your life. Use your VA benefits and go to school, eventially someone will come looking for people with your skills, It took me five years. This system works.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Maybe the value of the drone was simply deemed less than the cost of engaging Iran in an act of war? I mean, they fly very high up in the air, so I really doubt it could've crashed very smoothly. Keep in mind that it's around a week since it crashed, leaving the Iranians plenty of time to build a mock-up of it to support their version of how it went down (that they really did hack into it and landed it).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Here's another small item to think about, PC not, We knew where the drone was, intact, and had several options to destroy it. The CIC said, NO, might be seen as an act of war. So...the Iranians, Russians, Chinise, etc, etc, now have acsess to our most valuable intel drone. Reported today. Seen it on NBC yet?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Mike I'm not sure where you got your statistics on numbers of suicides each day - but that number MUST include ALL branches of the service, Active Duty, Retired, and Guard/Reservist s. I find it VERY high - That's 5,840 per year - the Army has documented only 261 suicide deaths this CY leaving nearly 5,580 for all the rest of the services and all those who ever served on active duty since Korean War - it's not totally impossible, but I find the numbers hard to believe in. Any suicide death is tragic and needless - and I totally agree with every other thing you pointed out. Just would like to know your source for the number of suicides per day by veterans.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am a combat veteran and an employer. I would prefer to hire vets and especially former spec ops people. We understand each other much better. If they are smart, combined with the work ethic that most have is hard to find. Anyone know of a place an employer can go to advertise or find specific vets?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes, it is something for most soldiers coming back from combat. Re-integration into civilized society after the horrors of war can be mind boggling and numbing. Drugs is not the way--lets decide that. Our hope our soldiers will feel more respect for their service this time around. It seems like that is happening!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm not seeing it. I have the oportunity to come in contact with a number of returning vets. I think for the most part employers prefer vets. They have discipline, a strong work ethic and a can do attitude. Generally better mannered and there's no downside. That being said there are a number of them that were lazy POS before they went in and will be when they return. There are always some losers who even the military can't fix. you'l be seeing them on the street corners and in the media bitching. they would have been there all along. There are no excuses for being a loser, the good men and women come back stronger. The others are what they would have been anyway.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Frank...Afghani stan isn't in the Middle East. I agree with you on the ROE though..for both this and the previous Administration. COIN and the limitations associated with that strategy began in Iraq quite a few years ago... I can't wait until the day that these men and women take leadership positions in our country. My sons have fought (and are still fighting) for her and deserve better than what they will come home to. They also deserve a nation that actually pays attention and knows that they've been fighting. I would be very surprised if 10% of our nation's citizens could find Afghanistan on a globe. I'd bet of that 10%, the majority would be in the service or have family members who have served or are serving. That needs to change or we have dishonored the sacrifices of too many.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes of course, wars are about politics. However, my point is that Yon's dispatches are not written from the strategical views of the war as much as from the Infantry's view of it, and politics is the least of their worries. Granted, politics will have an impact on the lifes of the veterans when they come home, but that's not really the point in this dispatch. Why I think we'd better leave the political discussions out of it for now is because they tend to derail into fights where people lose focus what matters in the dispatch. It usually ends up with lots and lots of "Obama is incompetent", "Bush is a war criminal", "Obama hates the troops", "Republicans are evil", etc. It is far from constructive and mature.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[That politics have some impact on veterans is something that I'm not disputing. What I'm asking is that the debate is dropped before it begins, since it is likely to derail into a Internet-fight containing little other than shit being thrown in both directions. Is that really what matters? As I wrote, there's a time and place for everyting. I don't think this is neither for people to throw shit at each other. This dispatch is a warning about what is already facing veterans, and what will face even more after the wars are over. It will not be pretty, no matter who is in the White House.]]></description>
