> 400 Disabled Veterans Raise Hell At Congressional Hearings On VA Budget

I find it hard to understand what is going throught the minds of lawmakers as they sit in office that we elected them to and really ponder cuts to vets in any fashion. We as willing young men and woman take it upon ourselves to serve this great nation in what is considered a selfless act and for what?We ask for nothing in reture except to be allowed medical attention. The fact that congress is willing to take away our right to medical attention for our willing service and enforcing the laws they make is unamerican in itself. I think the medical benifits of our lawmakers recieve should be paid for out of there own pockets. After all are they not serving there post in a willing and volintary matter that same as us service members? Should there benifits end as well when they are considered no more a lawmaker? After all they will never be combat wonded there for there benifit should never be covered.
