Care packages?
That's great support. How about helping them in about another two years NETREE. That's about the right time frame when discharged vets will begin organizing en masse to address the denials from DoD and the VA on delayed health effects from in-country service. Been there done that.
It'll be something like this...thousands of claims will be made for better testing and diagnostics to explain a host of ailments from loss of apetite to sleep apnea, sexual disfunction and skin rashes, inability to concentrate and bowel disorders, birth defects in fetuses concieved since returns, heart palpitations and several cancers of the spleen, digestive system, and blood.
Epidemiologies from other countries will implicate exposures to radiologic substances yet Pentagon officials will deny any such exposures took place. The White House will further deny any such claims. "Foreign" science will be questioned, corporate science will prevail. The same science that industry has the authorship for, the same science that tells us releases from nuke plants are "safe".
Recent changes in permanent VA policies will further exacerbate the mounting complaints by pointing out the right of denial and refusal to legally treat service-connected maladies - claiments will grow increasingly upset, the one's with enough determination remaining anyway, and the Corporate media will purposfully soften coverage of the growing discontent - unaware Americans will hear little - if anything - of the situation.
Angry vets will seek support from the traditional vet's rights organizations but will find little support because leadership is slighted towards prior issues unresolved, told to "get in line" and the Iraq conflict was not a "war" as we know them. Discontent grows, some vets seek justice in the streets finding law enforcement enforcing new "National Security" mandates prohibit organizing and demonstrating against policy, etc. etc.
Law enforcement is called, private riot control tactics are utilized and heads get bashed, corporate media sensationalizing the conflicts slighting the reports in favor of law and order, vet's loosing emotional support among their American brothern in the process. Escalation and more refusals from Administration to accept responsibility and soundbites of radical anarcistic vets going nuts gain support for more law and order....vets filing lawsuits but tort reform placing barriers on redress, the flags flying in favor of the President and Congress....vet's lose again. More amger, escalation.
Heads get bashed. Private cops are called, phones are tapped, and issue leaders are targeted.
Where are you? Behind the President or behind the vets? Will you send a care package then NETREE?
It's happened before. You didn't learn did you?
When it does hit the streets because America can't resolve it's own "blowback" consequences - I for one will exercise patriotism and help those brothers bash-in the heads of the storm troopers in black, ripping the flag back from the hands of the real enemy - the new American order. Who's side will you be on? Fox news?
