I Love All U.S. Veterans and Repubs Love Using Them
George Carlin will always be my favorite stand-up comedian of all times.He once noted in his best performance what I have always noticed about this nation since it's foundation/government frame work.This country is the only country that was founded on hypocrisy and will probably remain that way.Its common logic when given a little thought!The first piece of U.S. legislation consisted of signatures from men who were slave owners that advocated freedom.SEE,hypocrisy waaaayyy back then smh!Republicans of today perpetually mention/brag about the billions of dollars spent on our military complex and how we have the most advanced armed forces structure on earth,but in 2004 a group of journalist from the U.K. Guardian did 100% accurate research of data collected from U.N. and NATO polls and statistics with American and U.K. soldiers mostly surveyed that showed in this nation alone,24% of disabled vets are unemployed,76% of them post Vietnam are homeless,and the 76% that are homeless have the number one job of vets globally and that is begging.So I say to the robot republicans as well as the world,next time you see a homeless person with cammie pants on missing a limb holding a change cup,realize how moronic you will sound when you even think of bragging on our military.Thanks!

that makes a difference for those who have given so much ... at least our few extra dollars donation can go to a GOOD cause:

Paralyzed Veterans of America: http://www.pva.org/site/PageServer

3. Rethugs treat veterans like their ex-wives.
Once their looks are gone, they find someone younger and kick you to the curb.

4. The Republican congress of the '80s and Repub Prez seriously cut my dad's retirement benefits.
I remember my dad - a retired officer, dog knows how hard this his retired enlisted - adding up how much he'd lost in medical benefits, etc.
