We can send $900 million to the Palestinians without any problem. Disgusting story. Just disgusting.

The outrage of the story isn't about the veteran. The vet merely suffered the indignation, incompetence and bureaucracy of the VA hospital system - join the club.

No the "outrage" of the story is that the people at CNN and their Democrat colleagues want to put the same people who are in charge of the VA Hospital system in charge of the US hospital system.

If Obama has his way, all soldiers will pay for their war wounds.

This must be sent to Rush, Hannity, Levin, Savage, and Roger Hedgecock ASAP. Get this information out to the American people and sit back and watch what hits the fan, IMO.

It’s going out to my email list now.

There are a lot of things wrong in this story- the shabby treatment he got at the VA, his private insurance being billed, and then to be told he owes $3,000- WOW. We as citizens need to protest this each and every time we hear about it. If we call upon someone to serve this country we MUST take care of them properly if they are wounded doing so- no excuses.

I am outraged. Here is a fine man that served his country to save someone like Obama. Obama needs to go.

Absolutely heartbreaking. We’ve got to get this story out.

Dear SGT Roberts: Send a copy of your purple heart citation, orders and the bill to Mr. Obama and the secretary of defense. Copy the media and your congressman, hopefully a republican. Sit back and enjoy the show.

God bless you and please know that America honors your service and sacrifice.
