Support our Troops and Veterans

So often we hear the Bush Adminstration and war-hawks say: "support our troops." But what we don't here about is the fact that the VA has been short-changing mental health programs when PTSD problems are growing. Or the fact that the Bush Administration has proposed 10 BILLION dollars in Veterans health care CUTS over five years. Enough is enough! Support our troops - Bring them home and help them get the benefits they deserve!

Check out the new PeaceTakesCourage video. This is a re-edit of a video that I created back during election season 'o6, but I've redone it because the poor treatment of our returning troops and Veterans has only gotten worse.

I've never been to Afghanistan want to but haven't. Bin Laden has moved to Pakistan. American forces can't go in to Pakistan. The Pakistan Army is now working to locate him and bring him back to Afghanistan so where US forces can get him! We have set up many camps along the border and will get him! I can't persuade you and you can't persuade me on our opinions and facts about the wars so let just give it a rest! K!

There is no support for so many war Veterans, once we have been wounded, especially, the invisible wounds of PTSD, hearing loss, and TBI. The VA makes a sport of dismissing these kinds of valid claims, no matter what proof a veteran may possess. They don't care. The nation we served has failed us, when we have sacrificed so much. I get enraged when people mindlessly mumble to me "thank you for your service". For what? Like Neytiri on Avatar said, "You don't thank for this...this is sad."

Obumble has yet to give us better weapons and the new IOTV sucks. We are imobilized by our body armor. Better weapons would grant more jobs to Americans as well as allowing for more ammunition factories which would provide countless jobs for whole lifetimes. Notice that Obumble didnt send a dime toward that cause?

If it wasn't for the troops, i wouldn't have the freedoms that I have now, despite not having all the freedoms I should. I am planning to do some entertaining at a VA hospital that will have me and my zaniness - I know how you want to laugh with a queen and can't ask or tell, so I figured if I went then you could have some laughs, teach me how to march in gogo boots, that sort of thing. Deploy me to the frown zone.

As someone who has worked with the military for over 20 years and is also a US Air Force brat (dad was in for +20 yrs), I think your video does make a very valid point.

Before being labeled - I will self label as a born-again Christian who takes Jesus seriously, voted for Bush 2x, votes for Republican candidates about 80% of the time.
