And just which one of those days did a bit of fucking good?
Which one stopped vets from killing themselves?
Which one helped the vets with night terrors for the next 40 years, if they live that long?
Which one will help the vets with PTSD who can't interact with the family who loves them?
Which one will stop the Agent Orange from eating their body?

Snarky, no disgusted. The military is supposed to defend the USA when attacked by a foreign power. The last time that happened was 1942.
Military service fucks people up and shouldn't be used unnecessarily.

Here ya go, see what happens?

You're right. Dogtags from a ceiling are the way to go.

Dogtags from the ceiling is just a visual aid to make the millions of Americans who know jack shit about the war in Vietnam, grasp the size of the tragedy. They're not going to help the vets already screwed up, but could help prevent adding to their ranks.

It's been almost 50 years and it could easily happen again. There's a couple of generations who don't know the cost of these follies. Since the draft ended wars are on the evening news like it's a sporting event someone else is playing. People are disconnected from what is going on in their name.
