Soldiers

Soldiers choose to leave their families to protect ours all the while they see horrible things they can sometimes never recover from just to come home or to go to other countries to be mistreated malnutritioned raped Etc they sometimes have to kill or be killed all the while while trying to not think of their families or loved ones at home as to not get distracted because that could get them killed Sometimes they come home whole or in pieces or in boxes never to forget the sacrifices they gave up for their fellow human beings yet they have no housing, medical, support and our country a sports player or musician should have a billion more benefits for them and their families yes they are talented but does not compare to someone who serves our country they see women being raped, children abused, starvation, homelessness, every sort of Terror or horror you can imagine and had to come home to a country that doesn't fight harder for them I respect authority but it is abusive when it's about power money and leverage please understand they truly are our heroes and give them their true respect, dignity and benefits those serving our country and their family members deserve it is a lifetime commitment
