I tend to get a bit defensive sometimes. Also, every student has a teacher that they say "doesn't like them." This is mine.

What do you mean by veterans don't get treated like they should be treated? Because the media does not always praise them? I have not heard anything of the kind of treatment that Vietnam vets faced years ago.If anything I would say generally speaking vets get a lot of respect now a days.People are much better about expressing their feelings about war without blaming the people that fought in it.

I see stuff on the internet and other media and hear stories about how the government denies healthcare and treatment. Soldiers don't get paid as much as they should either. Nothing is as bad as it was after Vietnam, but a friend's family member who served in Korea has been denied healthcare he needed because "Korea wasn't a war." I forgot what they called it exactly but it was something along the lines of Police Action or something like that. The VA people didn't call it war and they denied him what he needed.

Take action if you feel so strongly about it volunteer for the Wounded Warrior Project or Disabled American Veterans your help and time will make up for 1,000 jerks and it will make you feel better as well I think your feelings stem from the fact that currently you can not(or are not currently) help people that you want to help.

That just might be part of it. I'm not sure what to think here. I don't know of any local chapters of either organization, but I might look into it. I am a part of the USAF Aux. Civil Air Patrol and they do volunteer-type stuff. I know they do Wreaths Across America.
I'll have to look into it.
