Opinion from the desk of the Editor

DC is just full of activity….well that is a lie…..about the only thing they, elected officials, have is the VA situation or a scandal if you will.

All the yelling, screaming, finger pointing and denouncing of the head of the VA and then they dash for the nearest camera crew to be the first on air for the day…..

It is all too pathetic for words……..everyone is outraged at the treatment, or in this case the lack of, for our returning veterans……they state what a disgrace it is that the government is treating these people like chattel…..they demand the head of the VA to resign,….still waiting to hear just how that will repair the problem…..but as usual it is NOT about the veterans but rather trying to embarrass the president and his administration…….

That is a bit harsh don’t you think?  personally, no not harsh enough….for you see the ‘champions’ of the veterans, at least that is what they would have us believe, Sens. McCain, Graham and Ayotte are very vocal on just what a scandal this situation is and that it is unacceptable…..you have heard all the hype, no doubt……

These three along with 38 other GOP senators voted against a veterans benefit bill saying that it was too expensive and a budget breaker…….think about that fr a damn moment.

These are the people that have no qualms about sending in American troops into a meat grinder but cannot be bothered with the care once they return……they are treating our brave soldiers like tools….once broken then discard and find some more……and the American people look the other way….but when they see someone in uniform they dash up and thank them…….looks like soothing a guilty conscience……

Here is the bottom line—-our veterans answered the call of the country and we owe them more than we can repay….at least we could have their backs when it comes to getting the help they desperately need…..but instead of showing these brave souls the respect they deserve we spend our time crapping all over them…..it is sickening!

This country has been crapping on the veteran for 60+ years and the people they protect look the other way and vote for these that could care less about the status of the veterans…….Americans need to show their support for the vets or shut the hell up………as long as we vote for cowards like Graham, Ayotte and McCain, yes him too….for only a coward would turn their back on an American veteran in need of help…..and you really do not want to know what i think of the people that vote for people like them……

Time for the American people to do the right thing, something they have never been very good at, and show our vets the respect they deserve.
