> 400 Disabled Veterans Raise Hell At Congressional Hearings On VA Budget
21 November 2005, 02:49
It is very disgusting for me, a disabled Viet Nam era veteran, to see the majority of the country vote into office people who will accept deferments, profit from no-bid contracts from companies they were once associated with, criticize others who even question their questionable ways of getting us into what seems another unwinnable war. THEN, above all, try every way possible to cut veterans benefits at the same time trying to appear so much more patriotic than those who actually served in many cases. As a former teacher, I think our educational system must be failing for a majority of the people of this country to elect such people to lead this great country.
