    We Went to War, Came Home, and Achieved the American Dream.

    And it cost you nothing except a few bullets in the heads of brown people. If most veterans are even half as proud of “serving” as this person seems to be, then maybe Trump is right to cut their benefits.

    the intro seems a naive view of the American dream. I’d argue veterans of WWII came home and achieved the American dream but the billionaires were well underway stealing the American dream during any war the author—being 44 years old—was deployed to. In fact, they were probably deployed for the billionaires who wanted more oil money.
