If you're NOT a VET, NEVER SERVED this country in uniform just SHUT UP! You have NO IDEA what goes on. You might THINK you do but you DON'T. You've NEVER been at a VA Hospital and TRIED to get care, waited HOURS past your scheduled appointment time to receive treatment 10-20 YEARS behind it's civilian counterparts.
This country is a BUSINESS, and our military is a MACHINE. We VETERANS are viewed by them as nothing more than WORN OUT PARTS they'd like to throw out.
The ONLY veteran Tammy Duckworth is looking out for is HERSELF. I served 8 years ADAF and I know what I'm talking about. She tries to turn it around and make it look like Mr Towey's agenda is self-interest, to sell his own book, but SHE is the only one that even mentions this, including $5 that she admits to NOT wanting to spend on veterans.
When SHOWN the document, she at first denies its existance, and then tries to claim "It isn't a DIRECTIVE", implying maybe it was a SUGGESTION?
Sure, the book doesn't explicitly say, "assisted suicide", but it asks veterans to decide if their life is "not worth living," because of circumstances which may include, "I can no longer contribute to my family's well being," "I am a severe financial burden on my family" and that the vet's situation "causes severe emotional burden for my family."
Besides, the issue at hand is that the Obama administration realized this issue was poison, tried to cover their tracks, and lied about it.
The circumstances where life might not be worth living also include ones common among the elderly and disabled: living in a nursing home, being in a wheelchair and not being able to "shake the blues."
But feel free to help the White House lie and deny these facts, and excuse Mrs. Duckworth's shameful dishonesty. Blame Fox News to prove you're a good liberal puppet if you must, but realize that you are so very wrong.
I've read the pamphlet. There is nothing in it that suggests suicide. Vets are adults; they are capable of reading source material about preparing a living will without freaking out... "OMG, I'm gonna kill myself!" This clip is more right-wing BS from FauxNews and the GOP.
This document is about making a living will, NOT asstisted suicide. Read it! Jim Towey wants to kill the "Your Life, Your Choices" pamphlet because he has been trying to sell his own "Five Questions" document to the VA for use in VHA medical centers. Towey and Chris Wallace argue that veterans should be presented with LESS information, not MORE, when it comes to making a living will.
That's funny...I never heard Chris Wallace say anything along the lines of veterans should be given less information.
He pointed out facts, and the Obama administration lied about them. If this book is so harmless, by is the current administration scrambling to blame it on the last?
hes not. she the scanless one trying to make it ok to guide vets to a place where they will talk to the vets trying to convince them of assistant suicide .
libbie.....there is no place where there is any talk of assisting suicide....none. Perhaps you ought to read what the book actually says instead of listening to those with an agenda tell you their "version".
