The vets in the past 30 years have been largely ignored it seems. I am hoping to see that change. We once took care of those who answered the call of duty to protect our country.

Just so you know, there have been a TON of things done by THIS ADMINISTRATION to address active duty and retired Veterans. Active duty pay raises, housing improvements, and some understanding for what they REALLY give when they serve. Retired or disabled Vets are seeing more help in the VA departments. This administration has opened NEW offices to get caught up on the backlog of disabled claims. I know this first hand.

This is the most caring and compassionate administration the soldier has seen in a long time. This administration seems to understand the awesome responsiblity it has to those who serve. The soldier be they active duty or disabled or retired, is not being forgotten by this administration. The military was "hated" by Clinton/s. They are LOVED by this administration. Do you ever remember seeing Sec. of Def. Bill Cohen visiting the troops the way Sec. of Def. Rummy does?

There is only one item being "debated" right now, that I'm not sure where the President Stands with certainty on. That is the "concurrent reciept" issue. But I'm not sure he will veto it either. I'm hoping he won't, but it that STILL wouldn't take away from all the "GOOD" that he has done for the military.

"This is the most caring and compassionate administration the soldier has seen in a long time."

I do believe that. In fact, it is in this administration that I see a lot of hope for turning that trend around. And it is quite obvious that he is highly respected by the military.
