On this Veteran’s day while we remember those who fought for their country, their family and their fellow soldiers, let us think on what we as a people, can do to stop war.
“If, as they often say in politics, demographics is destiny, the social, economic and political power of veterans is about to fall off a cliff.
This population drop is now compounded by a lack of national focus on the military and veterans. At least 45 US service members have recently been wounded in at least 38 separate attacks by Iran-backed forces targeting American troops in Iraq and Syria. Most Americans haven’t even noticed.
The attention of the world is now focused on global conflicts in Ukraine and Israel – and America’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan feel long gone. The unfortunate reality that veterans understand is that the overall power and importance of Veterans Day is fading fast.”
