Another "Gee Thanks" from our grateful public! Imagine my surprise at the conclusion of 28 years of strenuous service and one really good bullet wound, my grateful government removed part of my retirement pay because the VA doctors said that I had some permanent disability (it wasn't any surprise to me).

To add to the fun, Congress made sure that what was left of my retirement went swiftly to my ex-wife. Priorities, I guess.

If the President we worked for so hard during his election goes against us veterans, just watch how fast we'll find somebody else. Preferably somebody that actually faced an enemy for his country.

The practice is dicriminatory, Brother...openly, blatantly, disgustingly a slap in theface of the cereer veteran.

Yeah...we get that great "discount shopping", eh? The OX/BX is full of Waterford and Oneida...but ever try to find a simple glass tumbler? Ditto clothes...500 dollar suits and 60 dollar shirts...no woeking stiff clothes there.

Then there is the commissary...super deals there, eh? After the surcharge and the obligatroy baggers tips...well, I stopped going there years ago when the meat and roduce became "commercial grade".

Free health care? NOPE! For those who may not understand this...our health care is "space available"...and there is no spce, folks...so we have the VA? Another nightmare! Six months for an appointment?

The concurrent issue is simple...think of it as your boss awarding your a bonus for service, then taking it all back and it's the same deal.

Retired military disabled are the ONLY folks who undure this practice. It is a shameful statement.

We need to bombard Bush and congress with mail and visits...trouble is, veterans, by and large, take it lying down...that has to stop!
