Comments on: Old Soldiers Never Cash Out – Editorial – NY Times http://www.veteranstoday.com/2009/11/23/old-soldiers-never-cash-out-editorial-ny-times/ Military Veterans and Foreign Affairs Journal - VA - Veterans Administration Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:05:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Alton http://www.veteranstoday.com/2009/11/23/old-soldiers-never-cash-out-editorial-ny-times/comment-page-1/#comment-31740 Alton Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:11:14 +0000 http://127.0.0.1/?p=9483#comment-31740 Gentlemen; It came to me in a flash again. We have our US flags, our state flags, probably our city and county flags laying around, maybe our terrorist indicator flags (red, yellow, never saw a green one yet). Why don't we have our 'DOLLAR' FLAG? We could make them, I don't know, about the same size as our American flag stationed to the left (again I don't know) of our American flag, slightly lower of course and our state flag. I have noticed that almost every place that has more than one flagpole out front has three, so it won't take any DOLLARs to put this idea in place. So Gentleman, there it is. OK next question, what 'BILL' are we going to use for the representation of each company, state or federal office? Well here is 'MY' solution. The ones that don't take' (or make) much DOLLARS get to fly the DOLLAR flag, if they 'take', I mean, make more DOLLARS, they get the five (AKA, the sawbuck). The higher up they are, the bigger the domination on the flag. When the DOLLARS they 'take', I mean make, gets too big for 'Bill' representation, (Personally, I have never seen what at a million DOLLAR bill looks like, but this is a good chance to) then it switches to the DOLLAR sign shown here '$' . And again, the more DOLLARS they 'make' (HA! got it right this time) the more DOLLAR signs (represented here as '$ $ $ $'), they get to put on their flag. This will have the added benefit of showing to everybody what a company or state office is REALLY worth. Of course, if you have an earnings loss, shown on your income tax 1040 (heaven and Uncle Sam forbid), then you'll have to take a few $ $ $s off your flag. Heck, it might even make everybody them start being honest so they can brag about their $ $ $ $ s. This will also teach our young kids about Math (sorely needed in today's economy, yes, it's all about money) & will also have the added 'Trickle Down Effect', because if your 'smart' in Math, you will probably know how to speak a language or two or three to get it, so 'your little Tax deduction's' (AKA kid's), Reading, Writing and Arithmetic part of learning is taken care of. Heck, the more I think about it, the better I like it as opposed to the "No Child left Behind" tax or "A portion of the LOTTO gambling funds will pay for your child's education tax" and/ or the old, "I don't care if you never had any kids, you still have to pay for the schools in your state & federal taxes" tax. So now that I thought of this plan, I'm gonna put a patent on it and sell it to Uncle Sam (for DOLLARS of course) & just like the Military's 'Benny Suggs' program, I'll stand back and wait for all those boxes full of cash to come rolling in, reaping the rewards. Stand by guys. We're fixin to have a PARTY! "Boy, pit me an Olive". Gentlemen; It came to me in a flash again.

They were a politicians brown noser when they were in the military and do the same thing now for a price, and thats glorify the chickenhawk war. Tell me something, when the hell are veterans going to stop waving their flags and look at the policies of this country and say enough is enough? Who to tell the real story of war better than those that fought the SOB'S... Just think what a force veterans would be in this country if we could get our act together.
