If you are going to try to hide behind a long line of veterans while you make your claims, at least be sure of your information.

Also, don't assume I have no support of the Veterans or their needs.

I remember the men returning from Vietnam, and the way the MEDIA, and the PUBLIC treated them. I remember the way the government treated them.

This was not George Bush that did this.

HERE:

Since you can't find this let me help.

You claim that the qoute from RUMSFELD is accurate for several reasons. OK. I accept those reasons. Same reasons the other guy's statement must be accepted by you.

The proposal is stuck in committee. A recent effort to bring it to the full House of Representatives failed, in part because only one Republican signed the petition.

"The cost is exorbitant. And we are dealing with a limited budget," said Harald Stavenas, a spokesman for the House Armed Services Committee.

The second complaint is over medical care. After decades of promising free medical care for life to anyone who served for 20 years, the government in the 1990s abandoned the promise in favor of a new system called Tricare. The Tricare system provides medical care, but requires veterans to pay a deductible and does not cover dental, hearing or vision care.

Stavenas said House and Senate negotiators were working this week on proposals to address the veterans' two specific complaints. He added that Congress has increased spending for veterans' benefits, including a 5 percent increase next year for the Veterans Health Administration

Christine Iverson, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said: "The Bush administration and the Republican Congress have taken and will continue to take steps to enhance benefits for our veterans."

Geeeeeeee, didn't you read those parts?

1. Return to them their full medical benefit as promised including no deductibles, meds, (they weren't members of an hmo now were they?) and whatever their medical needs may be.
2. Allow them to receive the full amount of their SS check without deductions just because they may also receive a service connected disability check.

Now I am going to try this one more time for you in bold that maybe, well hopefully even ucansee2.
