Losing Against A Won War

Over several years our world, has found one  major way to solve issues. The way we solve it is with violence, even though at a young age we are embedded with the term, "Violence is never the answer." Our society still hasn't grown from the violence game. Many men and women are sent out to fight these battles, to either help our ally countries, or defend our own country. "Protect and serve," is a term many soldiers are told, but what happens when many soldiers come back and suffer from PTSD, does our government still, "Protect and serve." Not normally, as the speaker said suicide has been a common way for soldiers to deal with the trauma they faced while trying to protect us. Sadly, how often do you hear of us helping them, or celebrating them other than one day a year. I think, our society and government has a lot of room for improvement when giving thanks to the men and women who have helped defend our home and native land.
