The very first thing that needs to happen is a bill for mandatory attendance at all military funerals. It would run just like jury duty, but with no excused absences. 100 American citizens, with their families, would be required to attend every military funeral. The family of the deceased could decline this. Everyone of the 100 would be required to shake the hand of the spouse or mother. Any bad behavior would be cause for immediate arrest and forfeiture of any taxpayer-provided benefits and the right to vote.

Jet - the omnibus spending bill was just released. There are some news headlines about it. The bill will still contain the cuts to veterans pensions. The media is reporting that “disabled” retirees will be exempt but they do not define what disabled means (I.e. only medically retired or VA rated disabled?). There is a provision to exempt survivor widows and widowers. The bill has other abominations, such as over a Billion and quarter dollars to give away to Egypt with no strings attached. That one budget line would have paid for 2 years of pension cuts for all military retirees.
