The VA’s primary purpose these days appears to be to reduce the cost of government by eliminating a lot of military pensions.

This way that frees up a lot of money to use for medical care and education of illegal aliens.

Veterans appear to be at the lowest rung on the priority list. Illegal aliens are America’s First Class Citizens. Working American Citizens are second class citizens and veterans are down the line as third or forth class citizens.

This is a national shame for a government that has no shame.

Considering the fact that Janet Napolitano - the first head of Homeland Security under Obama - listed Veterans - among many others - as potential terrorists - its not surprising the Feds might be targetting them for elimination.

If the government can work up an injection which gives you a disease like ALS or Cancer, imagine the cost savings to the retirement system?

We did it to native americans as government policy using free healthcare clinics on reservations, what do we expect from the same on us?

We sure are a country full of dum sum bitches.

Unless we’re talking about the late Bradley Manning, soon to be gelded, reshaped, and bred to California Chrome, all at government expense.

I will guarantee you that HIV/AIDS positive veterans will get their multi-million lifetime drugs that will extend their lives for maybe a dozen or two years.

Heck...cynic that I am...I think that’s why they wanted in the military in the first place. Med care for their horrific diseases, of which HIV/AIDS is only one.
