This is just disgusting and needs to be rectified immediately. How can we expect the men and women to lay down their lives for this country when they are forced to live in such deplorable conditions upon their return? I want to vomit. Write your congressman, hell, write the President who signs each order to send these heroes off to war, and let them know how mad this makes you.
Sadly this is pretty typical of how this administration has been “supporting our troops.” A few weeks ago Secretary of Veterans Affairs James B. Peake told two Democratic senators that his department will not help injured veterans at VA facilities to register to vote before the 2008 election, or help veterans get to registration places since it’s considered “partisan political activity” (from the Veterans Today website).
So our injured troops don’t have the right to participate in the democracy for which they have placed their lives on the line.
I’ll be writing (again), but I really don’t see any change happening until we get a “regime change” here. And I couldn’t put it any better than you already have - I want to vomit.
