“Try thinking about the veteran every once in a while.”

We don’t have the money to pay everyone everything that they want, or things that they were promised at all levels of government.

It really has nothing to do with veterans, per se. In the grand scheme, paying higher copays and deductibles is something that reasonable veterans would not object to doing.

In the case of combat-disabled (actually disabled, not the scam of seeing the doctor the day before you retire) I think that their medical needs should be taken care of for their lifetime, as I’ve stated.

For you? Why do you think you deserve anything if you didn’t serve at least 20 years?

I expect that you would be the first FReeper to lead the charge against those who might want to modify a CEO's pay since it would be a breach of contract.

For you? Why do you think you deserve anything if you didn’t serve at least 20 years?

Because I served my country for 10 years with some of that service in a designated combat zone. The VA has a list of benefits that I'm eligible for and should follow-through. Who are you to say that me or any other veteran is not deserved of those benefits?
