Funny how that goes. Proof that the government is obligated to those who risked it all for the nation vanish right along with the proof that those who wouldn't didn't do a thing other than look out for themselves. Kinda like banks being bailed out while "little people" are told they made a bad decision so they have to deal with the consequences.
This country has officially become a banana republic run by a corrupt nobility who are above the law.
