In any case, I see no difference between the plight of vets and, say, laid off bank tellers or carpenters.

The military contributes zip to the economy except in it's hand in glove working with the "Defense" industry. It produces nothing, contributes nothing, and is a massive drain on the economy. Hell, considering it's main purpose is to "defend" American capitalism from various bogeymen, it's been a flop even at that..save the subjugation of mighty Grenada.

The military budget needs to be cut, and then, cut some more.
