I think it's funny that all someone has to do is mention that they served and suddenly they would be in a seemingly different class. Don't get me wrong, i respect those that have served. But there certainly were those who served who never saw combat. Had they just been two older gentlemen then few here would question the business' actions. Service to our country has always taken different forms, with some being more or less impressive than others. Heck, there were thousands of Contentious Objectors (Quakers) who served their country through alternative service during WWII and even COs who served in non combat roles. I agree that we should take care of our vets. Get them the treatment and attention they need and deserve. But realize their vote does and should count the same as anyone else. If they want to let their experiences influence policy then i urge them to get involved, talk to the public, run for office, do anything like that.</blockquote>
