Why might I ask would your answer give problems for the moderators? Unless of course it is offensive, in which case it is better left unsaid as it does not belong on a public forum, nor in the real world. We have enough offensive behaviour from our politicians, without that of their supporters.
I don't have counselling, nor have I ever needed it. I came home from my war and got on with life, working full time until I was old enough to legally retire. One thing I don't lack is moral and intestinal fortitude. But I did it, in spite of political inertia not in support of it. Perhaps you should donate a little of your personal time to helping some of our less fortunate Veterans, and I can assure you that you impressions of politicians will change markedly.
Governments the world over including (maybe that should be especially) the USA in the past 40 years, have traditionally ignored anything more than the most basic needs of their caste off soldiers from foreign wars, pleading that they had no money to solve the problems, yet at the drop of a hat, they can find 3 trillion dollars to fight a war based on false information which has cost the lives of more US servicemen than the number of persons killed on 9/11,... and contributed immeasurably to the increase in world parity oil prices.
Before you go blathering about "good" politicians, it might pay you to look about you, unless of course you are one of those who are rich enough to be insulated from the nasty side of life,... or maybe you are one of those interested in joining the ranks of our "esteemed" friends in high places?
