I live in Johnson City, TN and am currently enrolled in courses at East Tennessee State University.I believe that the politicians have milked the war for long enough, inciting ultra violent killers and expecting us to just assimilate back into an ever changing society once our bodies and/or minds have been used up or destroyed. We're all victims being hanged by our puppet strings and are expected to stay quiet and accept the trivial amount of compensation, but the GI Bill isn't accepted by the banks as a source of income so I can't take out a mortgage on a house.
