I’d like also to commend those who served and are serving who are from affluent families. They joined not for education or job training but for love and duty to the country.
And while the plan for affluent families, whose children did not serve, to support the troops is admirable it should not be needed. Simply put the Federal Government should put support of the troops at the top of its priority list.
If we have billions to give away to less than friendly governments, to failed companies like Solyndra, Nevada Geothermal Power etc., to endless unemployment benefits we have the money to support our troops. Problem is we have a President who has his priorities completely out of whack.
What the affluent families planning to lend support need to do is use the Ronald McDonald House as a blueprint and keep any money out of the hands of the Federal Government currently failing the vets.
