Are Veteran Soldiers Oprah’s Responsibility or the Governments?

I haven’t been watching too much of “The Big Give” but I did catch the first one and the beginning of the second last night while skimming through my bloated DVR.

The only comment I have to make (and let’s face it, there are many to be had) is on the veteran’s they featured on both episodes.

Putting the facts on paper and when not dissecting it any further: they both went to war, fought, came back disabled and now they are struggling to survive because of it.

In swoops the reality show to save the day.

Let me get this straight -

A man goes off to war for a country and when returning to said country it’s the responsibility of luck and a reality show to help put his (government caused) mangled life back together?

Shouldn’t situations like this be in the hands of the government that sent him there in the first place?

Why isn’t anyone questioning the existence of this need in the first place?

Why did no one on the show call out the poor planning and assistance he has not received?
