There are going to be thousands of soldiers coming home from the longest war in American history. Some of these veterans have been out on tour for four or more years. In those years in the field, these men and women did not gain any workforce experience or skills to help them get a job in 2012 and beyond when they are released from active duty.
It will be somewhat of a shock for those Veterans to return home and hit the ground running without some type of support system. The GOP has not talked about a support system for America's children returning from war.
Providing government assistance would be one obvious thing the next President of the USA should do. To ignore these voices of the military can cause tension within our own country and may be hazardous to civilian life. For some soldiers, coming home to the party that shipped them out, for misinformed information, may not rub them right.
I just hope that regardless what party is in office, we have to make sure that the same people that fought for this country do not have to fight for their dignity and a home.
