> 400 Disabled Veterans Raise Hell At Congressional Hearings On VA Budget
6 May 2005, 20:11
What’s next? I can’t believe that this is the president’s budget spending plan for the VA! And that the Congress are backing it! Over 2/3 of all disabled veterans are non-combat related, but that does not take away the fact that they WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES IN COMBAT had not a stupid accident or incident forced them out of them out of the military to take a disability rating!
Once you sign on the dotted line and take that oath at the Federal Building you are in essence saying that you are willing to give up YOUR LIFE for the rest of the unappreciative people in this country, " including Washington".
Oh guys, you remember the concurrent receipt approval that a particular executive part of the government approved before their second term? Did you know that they tried to SNEAK a little clause into that budget where they wanted to take away the money from the non-service connected veterans to PAY FOR THE CONCURRENT RECEIPT? Oh yeah? If it weren’t for the DAV, they would have screwed the non combat hurt guys back a year or so ago!!! I believe the article in the DAV magazine called it " DRACONIAN". More like dictatorshipish?
They are also tapping into the military retirement fund to finance their own personal agendas and bribe other countries. I thought the military retirement fund was supposed to be protected and TABOO to touch????
Why is Washington trying to " means test" Veterans when they are flying all over the world sipping margaritas? Now they are trying to make 100% service-connected non combat veterans pay $250 a yeart to go to the VA? I already have to outsource to local hospitals because the clinics can’t get you in for 6 months for an appointment? We are saving them money right there!!
You know, the other countries in the world might be tyranical, murdering dictatorships, but YOU DON’T SEE THEM F’ING OVER THEIR OWN MILITARY PERSONNEL!!!
I respect and admire our commander in chief for being a Christian and a ex vet himself, but I don’t think John Kerry, as messed up as his foreign policy would have been, would have tried to plot veterans service connected non combats against the combat injured guys? They are tring to separate us so they can finance or bribe some other country into liking us, but the whole world hates us, and if they start messing with the " very people that are protecting them" from the terrorists, then what kind of defenses will we have?
You know in the Bible, the United States of America is not mentioned in the last days, why do you think that is? Hmmmmmmm?
Somebody needs to do something!!!!
