You know, it's nice to have a CIC and FLOTUS who actually care about the troops
Ive been impressed by her work since she became flotus. President Obama last week, in response to another dreadful report about mental healthcare and suicide in the military, -ordered- more resources, and -ordered- that DOD and VA reduce waiting time to 24 hours.
I can see it in his face when he speaks. The weight of his orders bear on him. Bush never gave a shit, still doesnt, and we will never hear a mea culpa on the lives he has wasted.
In the past 3 years President Obama has ordered more help for our returning troops. Bush and CO never did anything except try and sweep us under the rug.
