[Ebony-Patriot]

As an active duty soldier, I am appaled at the way Vets are slowly getting the shaft. Since we have been an all volunteer force, we need to wake up and realize that the way the Veterans are treated directly reflects in the numbers of our young who join the ranks of the military.

After all, would you want to work for a company who promises free health care and a decent retirement stipend only to have the carpet literally yanked out from under you?

My father served in WWII, C-47's and C-54's out of Papua New Guinea, Korea, F-86's and Vietnam, 5th AF HQ. When he retired in 1970 he had permanent health and dental for the rest of his life. My mother was also covered. Over the years it has gotten to the point where my father, a retired USAF Colonel only has medicaid and his own money. Considering all of the effort and sacrifice he put into our freedom I am completely disgusted at how he and all of the others are being treated.
