The abandonment of war veterans in the USA, what a shining example of patriotism and gratitude. Who needs to take care of those who risked their lives for their country anyway? It’s not like they deserve a little support after being deployed to dangerous and traumatic situations. I mean, why spend money on veterans’ healthcare or mental health treatment when you can use it for more important things like tax breaks for the wealthy or funding for unnecessary military equipment? It’s not like war veterans are important members of society who deserve our respect and support. And let’s not forget, they knew what they were signing up for when they joined the military, right? It’s not like they were promised care and support for their service to their country. They should just suck it up and deal with their physical and mental injuries on their own, without any assistance from the government they risked their lives to protect. So, let’s just continue to ignore the needs of our war veterans, because who cares about the sacrifices they made for our country, right? It’s not like they deserve better treatment after serving their country with honor and distinction. Let’s just pretend they don’t exist and hope they magically disappear, while we enjoy our comfortable lives without any consequences of war. Sounds like a great plan to me. Let’s face it, America.Angela CHAPTERS:War veterans • Fast food • Football • The national debt • Guns • Apple products • Hollywood • Social media • Capitalism • Reality TV • Baseball • Nationalism • Shopping • Coca-Cola • BBQ • Disney • College football • The military • Christmas • Patriotism • Reality distortion fields • Las Vegas • Hollywood celebrities • Convenience stores • The American Dream • Income inequality • Bacon • Hollywood award shows • Strip mall • The for-profit prison • Fast fashion • Poor healthcare services • Social media influencers • The Fourth of July • Thanksgiving • Silicon Valley • American exceptionalism • Corn • Sports fandom • Corporate culture • The Electoral College • The American healthcare system • Police brutality • The big box stores • The rise of cyberbullying • Higher education • Opioid epidemic • The crumbling infrastructure • The lack of affordable childcare • Income inequality • Racial discrimination • Homelessness • The gender pay gap • Climate change denial • The lack of affordable housing • The failing public education system • Gun violence • The lack of access to healthy food • The privatization of essential services • The student loan crisis • The high cost of prescription drugs • The lack of mental health resources • The corruption in government • The need for immigration reform • The deteriorating public transportation system • The inadequate response to domestic terrorism • Domestic violence • The rise of misinformation and fake news • The rise of extremist ideologies • The rise of white nationalism • The need for campaign finance reform • The overuse of pesticides and herbicides • The inadequate response to climate change • Privacy • Pollution • Disappearing bees • E-waste • Animal rights
