The VA has absolutely no conscience or accountability. OF COURSE, these Vets are going to be desperate because they are made to wait and wait and wait for any and all benefits PROMISED to them when they sign up. While patiently waiting to be "approved by the ratings board", they are starving and sick. The whole "take care our our Vets" promise is nothing but a HUSTLE.
Think of the thousands of vets already irretrievably lost to the prison system...
And by "lost" I mean...if you think these brave, broken men were hostile, distrustful and prone to violent rage BEFORE they were incarcerated...wait until those who survive inside are eventually released...
UNTHINKABLE...but more and more commonplace in America today.
These men gave EVERYTHING to the job foisted on them by swaggering politicians who had always been careful to never walk in harm's way themselves...and then these men gave even more...more than anyone can afford to squander on an oil deal gone wrong
To some...since these returning vets have served their purpose...and are now damaged goods, clogging up our overburdened court and penal system...killers rendered far too dangerous by their training, and especially by their horrific experiences to be allowed to walk among "decent folk"
I'm sure that in some circles, having them all humanely put down has already been discussed...or soon will be...if they can only figure out a way to justify it as the, "patriotic, fiscally sound solution to all this expensive Lib whining......much of it from vets who hardly suffered any serious wounds at all"
Jay Gould (1836-1892) revered today as the patron saint of robber barons, once famously boasted that, "He could hire half of the working class to kill the other half"
Perhaps Gould's disciples of today have come up with some variations on his evil theme...
Like cutting away the protective net that millions of the elderly and disabled vets of ALL categories depend on to merely survive...
Thereby freeing up billions...not to lower the national debt they continually shout about while furtively increasingit...but to pour more into defense spending to be ready to fight the wars they're going to start in the future...
Sounds like a plan...
