WOUNDED WARRIORS

I am a little dismayed and sad about all the plea's I see on TV to help our wounded service men and women. I thought the military prides itself on taking care of its own. Apparently the government does not share that sentiment. We pay taxes, a lot of taxes. I was under the impression that our tax dollars were to take care of the men and women who are injured while serving in the military. Apparently, I'm wrong in assuming that. Now they are pleading with us to contribute more for their care. While I totally and unequivocally believe we should take care of them, I believe it is the governments responsibility to do so. Perhaps the next time our leaders believe we should go to war, they might consider the cost. Or if they want us to take care of them, regarding the taxes we pay, charge us less. Oh, we'll take care of it, like we always do, but it should not go unnoticed how irresponsible our elected officials have become regarding our entrance into armed conflicts and their responsibility for the outcome.They work on behalf of us, but apparently they can't get 'er done.
