Decreasing Vet Disability Claims

[COOL BREEZE]

This is in regards to those who think that one way to reduce the budget is to decrease the money paid to Vet Claims for disability. (various news stories on this and other forums) There are those who think that just the severely wounded Vets from combat should only receive compensation. Claims for sexual dysfunction, hemorrhoids(just using this as example only), ect should be discontinued. Oh we can really cut down on the billions paid out on VA claims yearly. Here is some food for thought. When you join the military,Uncle Sam owns your body. When you have to lug around hundreds of pounds of equipment, straining your back, eating high cholestrol military food , working in a noisy environment-flight deck, airfield ect. you just did your job as what the military expects. This is not a laid back civilian job 8-5 pm. We folks in the military are very unique. We serve our country . The damage done to our bodies caused by the military things we do are justified by the compensation that we have to fight for long and hard. The government owes us vets for all the physical and mental issues caused by our service.

I won't get political....

But there is no way in the world that this site or any other like it should encourage you to be silent on the mater of politics.

If a leader promises veterans that he will walk on water for them and turns his back on them as soon as he takes office....

THIS MUST BE DISCUSSED!!!!!!!!!

It is fool hearted to ignore it.

I think that ten years from now when and if we have extended peace the mice will start to gnaw away at our benefits.

You know there are many who just hate the idea of paying vets for things like PTSD and AO. They think it is their job to rule and some other guy's job to sacrifice. They are on Wall Street and in Congress and in the board rooms of the major corporations.
