From what I know of the VA, it has become such a bureacracy that it is nearly impossible for our vets to get what they need. Personally, I feel that ALL military veterans should get whatever they need, and they shouldn’t have to wait for it. They should get their benefits as easily as the politians do. In fact, our honored military vets should get the politians version of health care, and the politicians should all go on social security and food stamps.
Our veterans have sacrificed plenty, and the politicians that cut the funding for the VA should be given a rifle, a 50 lb. pack, and sent to the Front of whatever war we are presently fighting. Research the Bush administraion, see how many of those crooked bastards got deferrments to stay out of Viet Nam. (pretty much all of them, except Colin Powell, who was in the Army).
In a perfect world, there would be no need for the Paralyzed Veterans of America asking me to send money to help those that fought (and came back crippled) to keep America free. The PVA is my main charity, and I send them as much as I can possibly afford annually. In my opinion, anyone who has never been in the military, and lives in a free country that doesn’t support our troops (besides putting some stupid ribbon magnet on their car) doesn’t deserve to live here.
Of course, this is only my opinion, and since life is about choices, your results may vary
