Thanks. To answer your original question though: We currently have the lowest percentage of veterans, as a percentage of total population ever in our history. If you add up the total of all those currently serving right now, in all of the services, Coast Guard included, and all of the currently living veterans who have completed their time in service, it comes to about 0.045% of the whole population.
Less than 1/2 of one percent.
That's part of why you're not hearing anything. It has been decided by TPTB that we simply don't represent a large enough single issue voting block to listen to, so who gives one single solitary quantum of a gnats ass about what 0.045% of the total population has to say about anything?
