I think Bill is just frustrated that there was no heros welcome with brass bands and tickertape parades for the guys returning from Vietnam, or any returning war veterans since WW2. But, thinks there should be. I also think he amy be frustrated, as many business owners seem to be these days, that people don't roll out the red carpet and idolize them the way so many think we should these days...........
Me? I think we should respect our veterans and military folks and what they have done and continue to do.........But, we should always be careful not to glorify war itself. Our children should grow up knowing the bloody truth of war and the often wretched politics behind it----sans glory.
And, the other thing......Nothing is really owed to anyone, but the paycheck for last weeks work, and whatever else may have been agree upon in a legal contract. I will uphold the agreement I made in taking a job, but anyone who expects me to kiss his ass is in for an ugly suprise.
And that's how I see it.
Dave
