Yellow Ribbons

As I travel around I see a lot of those Yellow Ribbons with the Support Our Troops lettering. That's a kind gesture. We should all support our troops. The poor bastards are underpaid on any scale and used for the worst possible invention by man...war. So, I'm just wondering...has every one of those people who have one of those Yellow Ribbons on the back of their car called, written, e-mailed his/her Federal Representatives and demanded that they return the money that has been cut from the VA budget? I'm guessing they probably haven't. Those folks are not leaders, but followers. They respond to the squeaky wheel. So, for all of those who have had contact with their rep's, thanks. For those who haven't, why the hell not? Could it be that the words on those Yellow Ribbons are no more than Bushit to impress other people? Hmmmm!! I would hope not. However, it's hard to figure why Congress would cut the budget for VA more, after they were told that there would be a significant shortfall in the current budget, if all of those Yellow Ribbons had spoken.
