[unhappycamper]

unhappycamper note: Since the Pentagon has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, I’ve decided to give ya’ll an unhappycamper summary of the article and a link to the OP. To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.

To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.

(This space reserved for a legally correct snark dump.) It sure is beginning to smell like fascism.

unhappycamper summary of this article:Alan Simpson is determined to kill as many Vietnam veterans as possible.

Note for current or soon to be veterans: You will end up fighting these motherfuckers for every damn thing you get from the United States government. Mark my words.

If the VA starts handing out services to veterans with problems associated with SO-CALLED Agent Orange, what`s next? Two new legs and an arm for Max Cleland?
