The Wrong Road

Most veterans can look at the world today and realize our nation is heading down the wrong path.  We are facing a new enemy that is as evil as Nazi Germany ever was, but has several different forms in different countries.   Our military has been cut to the bone, fewer divisions, fewer fighter wings, and fewer ships.    Our all volunteer force is serving multiple tours in combat due to the shortages, and our citizens are disconnected from the military because of the small percentage of our population serving, and few veterans left in our government.   If we continue down this road, we become weaker, and the enemy bolder until at some point we will see another attack on our homeland.   National security and military readiness needs to be a major issue in the next election.  Veterans can play a part by educating our citizens and politicians, before it is too late.   Stay involved in the battle!
