RP Members what are your thoughts on Veterans in Politics? Do we need to get more veteran into public office?
It’s a wintry holiday in Boston, so schools are closed, workers have the day off and, despite the frigid weather, a few hundred folks have come out to watch a military-themed parade and hear an Army band play patriotic tunes beneath the statehouse’s glittering gold dome. A few train stops away in Harvard Square, Emily Cherniack is outlining a very different way of recognizing those who have served their country. She’s determined to convince military veterans to sign up for duty in a world she says badly needs them: politics.

This TED Talk is very appropriate in this conversation. I love how he explains where the Term IDIOT comes from. In the Birthplace of Democracy. It comes from the word for someone that doesn't participate in Government.

In a word YES. We are too often forgotten about by our political so called leaders. They talk a good story during the election but soon forget us. And for any of the current ones that thing the VA is just fine need kicked out of office.
