Stopping war, restoring benefits (especially psychological health ones) would do much better. <BR/><BR/>Of course, this type of support doesn't have quite the "rah-rah" appeal as rooting for the troops to rout the foreign foes. Unfortunately, I fear that's the main form of support they will receive.X.

Am I cynical to think his real reason for crying is the realization that his contrived presidency is almost over? <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you remind us to remember the war dead, their grieving family/friends/nation, but also the war wounded, those who come back, but don't really come back, not all the way. They deserve a caring society. Thank you for caring, Enigma.D.K.
