it's not really hate or despise -------------- what it is is that the tool has had it's use - it's disposable and to look after it after it's useful life -------- is a burden
The ONLY reason why GOP put on a show for veterans is because America is built on war culture - the whole country is set up on it -----------
but, when it comes to more than the flares and smoke from soldiers dropping from helicopters at football games and it comes to the real cost of caring for them in post service in health etc -
no one cares ---------- the tool is not useful then - except for using the shows as vote catches
in Oz - we don't have the military based economy and society that the US does -
so vets - aren't even valued as vote catchers - they are very disposable
