It does happen, especially when we're relying so heavily on Guardsmen and Reservists who are called away from jobs that often pay a lot more than they get on active duty. But it's a little more complicated than "We as a nation don't give a flying fuck". There are special rules for things like foreclosures on homes belonging to deployed servicemen and their families, for one thing. Private entities with help available are another. The problem is getting the families involved aware of what's out there and willing to take the help. It's also getting drooling idiots (like the people running this HOA apparently are) to have a little understanding and work with these people. And for goodness' sake, open your mail!
I'm fully aware of the "special" rules but they are moot due to lack of enforcement. This is because as a nation we don't give a flying fuck about our Troops and this weekend is a perfect example. Instead of honoring Troops most of America will use Memorial Day as an excuse to have cook outs, get drunk, and get a paid holiday (for the lucky ones).
Bullshit ceremonies will give PC lip service but it doesn't do anything for the troops still trapped in occupying foreign nations. All it does is feed the illusion we care about our Troops because there was a........fucking ceremony.
Why is it you almost always take the most extreme (patently undefendable and always emotive) position on just about everything?
Indefensible? What did I say that is indefensible you fucking whiny skank?
