When I examine how we as American taxpayers are treating our war veterans, I am ashamed. That is what I use as a focal point on whether fighting a war was worth the cost. Sure, a great many American companies made a lot of money during the war and now all the oil companies are making even more money in Iraq.

We are paying the bills to send illegal aliens to any college they chose to attend but we refuse to do the same for our veterans. So was it worth it? No. The the men and women who came home in pieces can’t even get decent medical care from the VA without a four month delay yet an illegal from a foreign country gets public funds within one week.

We have not fought a single war in 65 years where financial gain was not the primary determining factor in favor of putting American troops on the ground. We need to select a higher moral reason than money when making the decision to send our front line troops into battle.

When I examine how we as American taxpayers are treating our war veterans, I am ashamed. We are paying to send law-breaking illegal aliens to any college they choose, but we refuse to do the same for our vets. The men and women who came home in pieces can’t even get decent medical care from the VA without a four month delay------yet an illegal from a foreign country gets public funds within one week....and free medical care, schooling, housing, etc etc etc.

You nailed it precisely.

And the stupids in Congress intend to compound the travesty visited on our vets, by bestowing free-for-all amnesty on illegals whose loyalties are to corrupt Third Worlds----chain amnesty meaning all the fam back home come over to board the US gravy train.

Those who fought and died for us get z-e-r-o.
