(10,602 posts)Veterans are just a prop and have always been a prop for ambitious politicians. As a Vietnam veteran who worked in the Labor Department for 24 years I saw how conservative politicians cut programs. Today's veterans programs are anemic compared to what was available after WWII. The American people are at fault because they rarely put their money where their mouth is.
The GOP wants to pretty much privatize all veterans programs and turn them over to the American business industry that hates veterans for all practical purposes. Our veterans are only good enough to protect the American business thievery class. American business is unAmerican and unpatriotic in the way they really treat veterans.
As far as I am concerned the terrorists can have all the CEO's in America in this because they are not on the side of the flag. They would rather send all the jobs over to Communist China or India just to make the "blood money."
I simply would not have allegiance to the kind of country the GOP and big business want today. They do not deserve the military that protects their interests.
