War is Hell! Whether America’s military men and women are fighting a war or trying to heal from fighting a war, it’s always hell because the war never ends. When our military Troops go to war, they serve under the Department of Defense as highly trained professional warriors who are equipped with the finest defense weapons in the world to defeat the toughest enemies in the world.
After returning from war, they are to be served by the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) with the finest healthcare facilities in the world. But instead of healing from war, America’s military Veterans are fighting some of life’s toughest battles, day-by-day, just to survive in the country they defended.
Unfortunately, these battles are not fought as a collective and supportive military unit, but as a lonely Veteran against the fatted bureaucrats of the DVA, the largest bureaucracy in federal government.
To make matters worse, Veterans are not trained to fight personal “David vs. Goliath” wars with our own government, and they have no weapons of defense in these endless and tiring battles.
As time goes on, their warrior and survivor skills diminsh and their outlook becomes bleak as their opponent just gets bigger and more powerful. Tragically, every year more than 6,500 Veterans voluntarily surrender their lives; victims of bureaucratic battle fatigue.
Their solace is found in Plato’s prophetic assertion more than 2,500 years ago: “Only the dead have seen the end of war.”
