PRIME TIME THURSDAY ON ABC NEWS HAD A STORY ON RETURNING INJURIED OIF WAR VETS WHO ARE GETTING THE SHAFT ON PAPERWORK AND BENEFITS AFTER RETURNING.
OIF VETS RETURN TO PROVERTY,ONE GUY LIVES IN HIS CAR BECAUSE THE ARMY WANTED HIS RE ENLISTMENT BONUS BACK AFTER HE WAS WOUNDED AND PUT IT ON HIS CREDIT REPORT AS A BAD DEBT,ANOTHER STAFF SGT HAD BOTH HIS ARMS BLOWN OFF AND THE ARMY WAS GIVING HIM THE RUN AROUND WITH HIS DISCHARGE PAPERWORK AND SO ON.
BUT WHEN A NEWS REPORTER SHOWS UP AT THE DOD AND TALKS TO A 3 STAR THAT ADMITTS THE ARMY AINT TAKING CARE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES TO THESE SOLIDERS WE GOT A BIG PROBLEM!
THE GENERAL TOOK CARE OF THESE 4 BUT YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN TIMES THAT BY 100.

WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE SAME THING EVERYTIME,ITS ALWAYS A F--ING AFTER THOUGHT LIKE "SHHHHHHH,MAYBE WE'LL GET AWAY WITH IT THIS TIME"

ALOT OF THESE FOLKS IN THE VA ARE TOP NOTCH PEOPLE AND ARE COMMITTED TO VETERANS,PROBLEM LIKE ANYTHING ELSE A FEW ARE A BUNCH OF ---------- AND CAUSE THE TROUBLE.
ITS THE "FACELESS BREAUCRATES" MOST WHO NEVER SERVE ANYTHING EXCEPT LUNCH WHO SCREW WITH THESE BRAVE VETS.
WHEN A WAR VET COMES IN I'M SORRY HE GOES TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE,YOU TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING THEN. NO PHONE TAG,PROMISES TO CALL BACK CRAP NO!! YOU TAKECARE OF THEM ASAP! THAT SHOULD BE THE WAY ITS HANDLED.

NO VET SHOULD EVER BE IN ANY OF THESE SITUATIONS

This is a problem the ARMY, DOD and US Goverment need to correct right now. I swore to uphold and defend just like the rest of you did and so did these brave vets. It is a damn shame the way they have been treated, abused, used, forgotten, left behind, you name it. You are right Goose, it makes my blood boil.

THis is the way it's ALWAYS been though.

After WWI, the President ordered the Army to machinegun protesting WWI veterans that were demonstrating outside of the whitehouse because of broken promises.

It will sadly probably never change.
