[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 924630, member: 17969"] What is your point about this article?? Werent you part of the group that supported both wars even when the E4 talked about this very thing back in 03,04,05,06,07,08,09?? This happens every time there is a war, and in this case, two wars. It happened to Jimmy Carter and its happening to Barack Obama. When you take part time soldiers away from their day jobs and send them on tours 4 or 5 times, their employers dont have to hold their jobs anymore. Once that happens, they are unemployed. The bush administration has used the national guard tour after tour until most were let go by their employers and they came back to the unemployment line. Once there, employers wouldnt hire ex soldiers because of the problems associated with returning vets. PTSD and other behavioral problems plague todays soldiers returning from Iraq/Afghanistan and employers want no part of that. It is NO surprise the unemployment rate of soldiers is high, it was predicted years ago. Maybe now you can understand why war isnt good for the economy or labor force? Peace. [/QUOTE]
