The history of this country and its treatment of disabled veterans is abysmal. I am not a disabled vet, but a vet nonetheless and have seen the needs of my brothers in arms.

Veterans don't have a right or entitlement to the passage of the above bill because rights and entitlements are ment to absolve those who put them in harms way. Do disabled veterans deserve the passage of this bill? They most certainly do!

The full Senate takes up the bill tomorrow. There are 83 co-sponsers, so the bill will probably pass.

However, this has happened before. Then, when the Senate/House committee meets to iron out the differences, the matter of "concurrent receipt gets amended away!

Shameful. Contact your congress critter and get this screw job fixed this time!
