The Cost to you and us Veterans Disability claims Bush lies
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/11/washington/11veterans.html?ref=us


Ok here some of the beark down of the cost becuse of Bush lies to take us to war.

Nearly one in five soldiers leaving the military after serving in Iraq and Afghistan has been at least partly disabled as a result of service. according to docments of the Department of Veterans Affairs obtained by a Washington research group.

The number of veterans granted disability compensation, more than 100,000 to date suggests that taxpayers have only just begun to pay the long -term financial cost of the two conflicts. About 567,000 of the 1.5 million American troops who have served so far have been discharged.


Ok Guys last year alone 600,000 vets denied health care. PTSD cases taking up to five years to recieve. Heres in a Democrat budget that shows how bad Republican are f---ING these vets coming home, plus us older vets. http://www.house.gov/budget_democrats
This article is just the tip of the iceberg
