Honoring the troops with gestures is not a substitute for real policy actions

[Yavin4]

Instead of honoring troops killed in combat, why not remove them from the battlefield entirely and don't return them until a genuine threat to America's safety emerges.

Instead of standing for the national anthem at a football game, why not improve the overall health care system for returning veterans making good on an actual promise.

Real policy actions speak louder than gestures.

And Trump is deficient on both counts.
