A few days after the midterm elections, our nation will observe another Veterans Day. Politicians will spout platitudes about support for the troops,newly elected (and mainly re-elected) congressmen will make appearances with flags pinned to their lapels -- and deployed American forces will try to get through another day.
中期选举之后的几天,我们国家将会关注另一个退伍军人节。政客们又会满嘴的陈词滥调表达对军队的支持,新当选的(主要是连任)国会议员将会把国徽章钉在翻领上显摆——及试着努力的与美国军队共庆节日。
