Vonnegut's description of todays soldiers as
"toys a rich kid got for Christmas" is
equally applicable to all but the rich!

"When I reflect on the sacrifices that have been made by our veterans and I think about how so many veterans around the country are struggling even more than those who have not served — higher unemployment rates, higher homeless rates, higher substance abuse rates, medical care that is inadequate — it breaks my heart."
--President-elect Barack Obama in choosing Bush critic,
retired four-star General Eric K. Shinseki to be the next Veterans Affairs secretary. (Dec. 6, 2008)
