Lack of support for Vets

On the money there! When somebody puts on that uniform and gives years of his or her life, if not the rest of it in the ultimate sacrifice, to defend the freedom and liberties of the rest of us, there are few considerations I can think of that should not be extended to them. They serve at pathetic pay, in frequently harsh and unforgiving environments, normally away from their family and loved ones, and do so proudly. This Country should be ashamed of the way that they are treated while serving and when they finally hang up those uniforms and return to civilian life. The Government just increased their co-pays for health care???? Inexcusable! And we all know how poorly those who did their duty and served in Vietnam were treated.

I am glad to see that we learned the lesson from that in spirit. It would be nice to see that spirit backed up with concrete benefits. It is time that some of the trillions going to defense contractors gets diverted to provide proper support and benefits to the men and women who serve.....during and after their service!

Becks what was your first clue?? The Congress is willing to vote itself a raise in the middle of a recession and to give themselves a better than average healthcare plan, but to the rest of America they say F You. I say we vote 'em out and start over, how 'bout you run for congress.
