Very moving video. A suggestion, instead of extending the tax breaks for the richest 2%, use the money to fund, the Veterans Trust Fund, for veterans,. Let see if the Republicans and Tea Party activists have problems with that reason to end the tax breaks!
Thanks everyone for the supportive comments! The counter was broken yesterday for some reason but it looks like it's back up and running. Lets see if we can beat Chocolate Rain! hahaha
Alan Simpson's comment is pretty disgusting, and Wednesday night we learned that the deficit commission he heads is recommending the VA start charging for care
Here's Eisenhower's predicted military-industrial complex, creating wars for their own personal gain, young people who don't understand that the only war we were justified in joining was WW II, thinking that they're risking their lives for a good cause, our freedom. Getting killed, maimed, badly damagad psychologically, some living on the streets, begging for money. Their medical care often is inadequate. I'm ashamed of my country for doing this to innocent or poor children.
Wonderful video. It's time that we demand proper care for our nation's veterans. Their willingness to sacrifice so much obliges us to keep our promises to them.
it is a shame indeed how the policy of your country treats "your" veterans. but soldiers are never heroes. and they decided to go to the army. that is a shame too. stand up for humanity not for military. my opinion.
"The veterans who saved this country are now, in a way, not helping us to save the country in this fiscal mess." -Fmr. Sen. Alan Sinmpson (R-WY) SHAME ON YOU!!
@allgoo19 Well said. The politicians worry about tax cuts being cut for the wealthiest two percent and they will spend money on war but why are the Veterans neglected, the ones who fight those ways! Shame on you America!

Thank you for posting this! It is a national shame the way our Veterans are treated. No Veteran should be homeless or go without needed health care!

So little view counts and no comment.. How little people are interested in this?
How about adding BIG tax to those who get profitted by the wars?
Alan Simpson's comment pissed me off so bad. Why is he still around? He's not a politician any more, he's a lobbyist!!
