What channel are they on and at what time? (So in the very least, once can set their recording device – whatever it is now – and watch these programs at their leisure, or by sitting down when they air.) The web links was very helpful, though. While I agree that what's stated is an outrage and major, major changes need to take place, I don't think its necessarily fair to blame American apathy on "American Idol." The program is what it is, and put into perspective is merely an hour-long getaway once or twice a week. I'd bet that, if people did take the time to do the research on these outrageous actions by some of our corporations and that, they'd demand their heads. Problem is, I don't see that happening overnight. Just like the injustices and horrendous actions at Penn State University involving the sex crimes of Jerry Sandusky will take years to undo, and about as long to fully implement procedures to prevent such a thing from ever happening again ... it will take just as long to revamp the VHA. To remove those in power and begin procedures to, for instance, improve disability claims for soldiers, to actually call soldiers home and at least help calm these emotional wounds, and on the list goes ... it will take a very long time. I guess it does start by demanding answers and voting for those who will do the right thing. - Bobaloo Sat, 21 Jul 2012 10:47:16 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/commentary/our-turn-to-soldier-up/#comment-4690 Finally, someone has the courage to speak the truth. Surpised to find it expressed here. - Bud Murphy Thu, 14 Jun 2012 12:37:06 +0100
