They risked their lives for our country. Let's do right by them.
Long op-ed piece at WaPo that makes well the point that must be made.

Actually, what needs to happen even firster, is to eradicate the element in DC that believes abandoning people who put themselves at risk to help US interests is OK. It's not a recent problem...

[Independent] People in their 20s and 30s are being treated for varicose veins, knee joint problems and other conditions usually associated with old age.
Bad postures and sedentary lifestyles have led to a rise in the number of younger people experiencing complaints such as back pain and haemorrhoids, according to analysis by Bupa.
Data from more than 60,000 medical procedures in 2015 was compiled by the private healthcare group.
It found treatment traditionally offered to older generations was increasingly being sought by younger people, aged mainly between 25 and 45 ‐ a shift it attributed to time spent sitting at desks, watching box sets and using smartphones and tablets.
Removal of haemorrhoids and varicose veins were two of the most common procedures in the heart and circulatory diseases category for both 26 to 35-year-olds and 36 to 45-year-olds.
"Haemorrhoid removal and treatment for varicose veins are procedures that people in this age group should not be encountering," said Dr Steve Iley, Bupa's medical director in a statement.
"However, when you consider the amount of time young people now spend sat using their mobiles and tablets, streaming box sets or playing with the latest games console, you can see why these conditions are rising in this age group."

It wqs just announced out that dosing with the blood of a young person makes the body of an older person young again. But also, dosing a young person with the blood of someone middle aged or elderly gives the younger body the problems of age. And as more middle aged and elderly people give blood...
[COMMENTARYMAGAZINE] The United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... has become a cesspit of contemptible anti-Americanism that serves only to give the authoritarian nations undue influence over the course of global affairs. Its legations rewrite history so as to edit Jews out of Jerusalem. Its human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... commission elects by secret ballot human-rights violators like Muammar Qadaffy ...The late megalomaniac dictator of Libya, admired everywhere for his garish costumes, funny hats, harem of cutie bodyguards, and incoherent ravings. As far as is known, he is the only person who's ever declared jihad on Switzerland... ’s Libya and Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... to lead. It is the font of scandals, including abuse of the Iraqi Oil for Food program and the allegations that the UN covered up the sexual abuse of minors by peacekeepers in war zones. The United Nations regularly infringes on U.S. illusory sovereignty by imposing on it climate regulations, restrictions on maritime navigation rights, and attacks on American freedoms in the Bill of Rights.
Will Nikki Haley ...first woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley is the youngest current governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems... make a good ambassador to the United Nations, whatever that means? It’s difficult to say. She will, however, be a welcome departure from a corrupting culture and an important voice advising President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...

There's always a temptation to "go native." There is also Stockholm Syndrome. Hopefully she's better than that...

Interesting challenge for Haley. She has one thing in common with Trump: both of them have bucked the GOP establishment in their relative areas. Perhaps this is a good sign. Hopefully she will go "Full Bolton" on the place.

In an international organization like that, there will be plenty of opportunities for people to notice her tanned skin and treat her like she's Third World second class. No chance she'll be allowed to forget the positive aspects of America vs. the rest of the world. An Indian-American friend of mine trailied her husband on an assignment in the Phillippines, and spoke unhappily about just that thing.

Anyone thinking they can get away with treating a conservative female as "just another little brown skinned woman" has never met Haley, or Michelle Malkin. They will pay for their bias and prejudice, one way or another.
