America has been at war for a decade. For most of the war, we financed massive corruption through cutting benefits to veterans, even destroying thousands of their files and through discharging wounded soldiers under the diagnosis of “personality disorder,” often brought on by a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) or PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress) caused by multiple combat deployments. Billions of dollars were saved, stripped off the back of our soldiers and veterans as though they had been flayed prior to being crucified. Crucified. We have been doing this to our troops for a long time, but we really perfected the process during the Vietnam War. The “baby killers” and “drugged out vets” of Vietnam, damned by popular culture, movies, TV and newspapers, were denied medical care and disability compensation for decades. Recent estimates indicate that fewer than 800,000 of over 2.5 million Vietnam veterans are alive today. -->-->-->
While having to be tough advocates for the last some four decades, fighting where the major VSO's wouldn't and didn't, the past decades support for two long running occupations of choice and nothing coming from those that started them, that administration and their congress, the time is now for Justice for the Veterans and the Country to pony up! What's that you say, we're in real tough economic times as a country, Guess What, we wouldn't be here now but for the failures that the country and their reps supported, lapel flag pins and magnetic ribbons galore!!
