Anyone remember the scene in Gangs of New York with immigrants coming straight off the boat and signing up for the Union army in exchange for citizenship?

We don’t even go that far now apparently.

What an effed up story. Absolutely horrific. How can anyone have any sense of patriotism for a government so gross. Veterans should never be treated this way. Hell, look at the plight of so many veterans that are citizens. So many broken lives, tossed to the side and ignored.

This is not an American-only problem either. You can learn a lot about a country when you pay attention to how it treats its soldiers.
