Over 50% of the personnel coming home now are applying for disability form the VA.

Welcome home troops.

Indeed they are - and in my view they're deserving of every bit they are awarded. I'm not aware of any other war where our guys and gals had to operate under such restrictive, draconian and, yes, even suicidal ROE's. We didn't have such ludicrous ROE's in 'Nam and we certainly didn't have them in WWII or Korea. We shouldn't have them now.

My hat is off to all of our brave troops who have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. Horribly dangerous ROE's, multiple and extended deployments - many of these soldiers have racked up more time in combat than any of our soldiers have since the War Between The States. Don't let the REMF's and bureaucrats nickel and dime them - they've earned their benefits!



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Good morning, mountainlion...God Bless our Troops, while those that sent them into harm’s way don’t seem to care much about their health and welfare.
