It's sad to think after all they have been through some come home and can't find a job.

This is not the sort of home coming our boys deserve... they should be given access to higher learning facilities if need be... with the option of work perhaps in a related field

The National Guard was created for Home Land Emergencies such as Katrina. They never should have been sent to Iraq. If we do not have enough troops then a draft should be instituted and then perhaps the citizens would demand the war be ended as it should be.

Yes it is sad that these Soldiers come home and dont have jobs - I thought companies had to hold jobs for them? No Im sorry Marilyn we dont need a draft - that is a bad idea...Put those Soldiers on our borders and have them protect our borders - stop those getting into our Country illegially.
