> 400 Disabled Veterans Raise Hell At Congressional Hearings On VA Budget
25 May 2006, 06:03
The Government has made a big mistake. They have lied to and suckered our young for the purpose of shipping them to Mr. Bush’s meatgrinder in Iraq. There, these kids have their eyes opened and get to see the effects of Rumsfeldt and his cronies arrogance. These kids are tools to be used and discarded when killed or mutilated. Then they get sent home to be screwed by politicians like the scumbag Buyer and friends. They get to face a VA full of bureaucrats whose mission is to deny as many veterans their hope for health or some form of disability when they cannot work due to their injuries. Mr. Bush needs more guns. What is happening though is that these kids, many of whom are bright and dedicated (they wouldn’t have joined otherwise) are becoming cynical through awareness of the lies and fuckovers. They are coming home to the sheep that are the People of this fat, pampered country as wolves. They have passion and the ability to think things through. We veterans do them a great disservice in that we stab each other in the back constantly and cannot get our acts together to organize as we should. I picture a million veteran march on Washington, angry, passionate, that will not be denied!!! Let the politicians shit themselves in their nice air conditioned palaces hiding behind the Capital Police, the Washington Metropolitan Police and show themselves as the cowards they are! What works against us is that we are not truly united and we can be ignored. The media treats us as broken down jokes and keeps their lips pressed securely to the assess of the so called policy makers in Sodom on the Potomac. We are not willing to take risks like our Founding Fathers did who gave everything to make this Country a reality. Until we do, we will always exist only in the pages of these Veterans Sites licking our wounds and crying to a country that doesn’t give a shit. If we older veterans don’t have the backbone, I hope the young Wolves coming home keep their passion and anger burning long enough to make a difference. I would be honored to risk all with them.
