  1. # 5 is interesting as the number 22 per day has been used quite prolifically.
    # 1 is something we see all too often, and political showboating should be considered on the same scale. Senator Collins from NY poses every week with any veterans that will have him.
    # 3 Travis should be hired by the DOE to tour schools and recruiters should have to present heroes like him. Kinda the same way tobacco and medicines have to proclaim potential harm.
    # 2 is a good intention but what goes through peoples heads when they see bridges and roads named after military. One thing that flashes, in front or subliminally, is revenge. It keeps it going. Memorials are most appropriate in veterans parks.
