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!

Where do you live that it takes 6 months to get an appointment at the VA?

I have not used the VA but I know people that have no problem getting appointments.

I was not a career man. I just find your post to be disturbing. Career veterans should be better treated. It is a serious indictment on our Country if these things are all valid.

Thank you for your service!
