In a way
the dying off of the veterans' organizations is a good thing; it means we're not sending as many soldiers off to wars. (It also means we can do a good job defending ourselves with fewer soldiers, which isn't such a bad thing either.) This does not justify the shameful neglect that too often comes the veterans' way, but whatever perks accrue with having served in the armed forces we can never begin to repay their service.
