HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 23, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 23, 2010 He sounded a lot better than those senators except for Sen. Sanders the socialist from Vermont. Sanders is head and shoulders above those time servers. Akaka is senile. Webb is a traitor, and the rest are hacks. They asked the secretary if any studies had been done on Vietnamese civilians. Either he is stupid or a liar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyTexas Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Akaka did have some valid concerns. The Doc that said 80-90% is caused by what we eat, and our habits, family history. Hard to refute that. It will still get passed and go into effect. I just think that group should have had hard evidence when it came to IHD, If they would have, this hearing would not have been had today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustPLS Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Akaka did have some valid concerns. The Doc that said 80-90% is caused by what we eat, and our habits, family history. Hard to refute that. It will still get passed and go into effect. I just think that group should have had hard evidence when it came to IHD, If they would have, this hearing would not have been had today. Am I taking this the wrong way? If I am, I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean. I certainly intend no offense here, but - what are you saying, Tex? You think this is bogus and we all should have watched what we ate and exercised more? You think if we had done a better job of that we wouldn't be affected by Agent Orange? Which group are you referring to? The VA, Congress, IOM, or Vietnam Vets? And, thanks for your service! Pat I wonder if I would have all the medical conditions that I have now if I had never joined the Army. I'm pretty sure the answer would probably be no. When I look around and see others my age who were not in the service, most of them look pretty healthy. Do you think all the employees of the VA really understand that it is ONLY because we served that their positions even exist?

SLEDGE Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 To me, this was a waste of time. Not being political. Economics are not a consideration when veterans are evaluated? Huh? Why do we constantly here about the budget if economics have no business in veterans health and medical concerns? Signing off. sledge Those that need help the most are the ones least likely to receive help from the VA. It's up to us to help each other. sledge twkelly@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
