Veterans should be entitled to crime victim benefits |
|
Amid all the stories covering vets of Iraq, would it be appropriate to mention that those who died or were injured were the victims of the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld crime of taking us into war on false pretenses. To ignore the fact that American servicemen and servicewomen were sent into battle for nothing (except for a neo-con plan to control all the oil in the middle east)is to make it easier for others in the future to send our troops to fight without just cause. I salute and honor the vets today (all of my relatives were in WWII)I just wish they had served for a righteous cause.

5. No, they should just uprate the PTSD disability rating by the VA. Same effect. |

But with actual health care behind it as well. Though I haven't been all that impressed with VA psychs.
