If these junkies knew that their life and their future depended on them then would get up and get a <A TITLE="Click for more information about job" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||job|AA1VDw">job</A>. But the way it is now people know if they have kids they can't support. Or if they don't have enough money the government will hand them what they need. And that's not something that's motivating. If the government would stop this wellfare system now. These people would be without a home, job, money, food and it would be a motivator to get out and find a job.
Yeah I'm sorry Nancy. You're right. The government does call all the troops heros so it can better justify their actions(which of course are not the choices of the troops). I just kinda got fired up a bit being a former grunt myself.
