And as such has little value. It's been devalued as a cliche'.
Making oneself available for defense is a worthy endeavor, even though policy has misused these people. As someone who spent a few years in uniform, including Vietnam years, I feel that respect and 'thanks' are due. I cringe at these people being used for the Military Machine, but they are also available for justifiable use. The fact that we are still sovereign is because of that potential.
There are many roles in society that keep us intact and are worthy of respect. Let's keep it at that level.
