That is part of the problem
If soldiers aren't made to feel proud of what they do to protect us, and aren't treated well when they return and given the honor and respect they deserve, how can we ever expect more people to want to be soldiers in the first place?is the entire problem with our foreign policy. I would much rather have a force composed of citizenry that were drafted, dont want to be there and are pissed about it. It would make the pol's much less likely to use the armed forces as pawns. When you have a core of highly trained career soldiers directing the great unwashed, their deployment becomes a last resort, not the first.
