the state doesn't support its troops

The state has little care for veterans. 

The notion of an uncaring state has shown itself over the course of America’s 100 years of imperial conquest.
This can especially be observed when their contract with the state is no longer valid. 

Of course, some will argue that the benefits the government gives to veterans (G.I Bill and disability benefits) claim otherwise. However, these so-called benefits create a culture of dependency where the veteran is made a slave to the state like many other Americans who need the government to survive and not thrive. Furthermore, veterans have and will be financially and physically violated by the state in the long run. I am not going to talk about the fact of being sent to unjust wars, or the hundreds of thousands that have been murdered or maimed. What needs to be brought to light are the more subtle costs of war that do not get as much public attention.
