> 400 Disabled Veterans Raise Hell At Congressional Hearings On VA Budget
7 April 2005, 14:20
I have a service connected disability, and if this guy is supposed to represent an organization that I’m a part of then let him come and tell me that he wants to take away my benifits. Let him tell me that the government no longer will fix the physical and mental problems that it created. Let him tell us to our face what his problem is with us and why if he has this problem that he is chairman of the organization that gave us these benefits to begin with. Why don’t we make him come to us and explain to all veterans why he wants to do this to us. Then when he does, exploit it. Publicize it and make it known to the world what he is doing to the country, because we would not have a country if it wasn’t for our veterans today. Then make it know to all the youth about to enlist of how they will be treated after the government is through with them, not just for the benefit for us but for their benefit. I would not wish any young man/woman to serve a country that would leave them crippled and not take care of him/her. Even if it means my freedom again.
