How Bush Supports The Vets--Cuts Their Benefits
Well, I guess Bush doesn't need the benes, so why would an injured real soldier? This makes me furious. :mad:

snip . . .

"The VA started considering veterans' assets in 1986, when budget deficits during President Reagan's second term left lawmakers scrambling for spending cuts."

snip . . .

"The Clinton administration in 1996 restored service to all veterans, though with co-pays for some, and shifted substantial amounts of money into outpatient care."

snip . . .

"Nobody should have to pay anything," said Marlowe, 8th District commander for 17 Houston-area American Legion posts. "We swore to do our duty and did what we had to do."

2. yeah, but see that's what the soldiers want. they don't need no
stinking hand out from the government. hell lose a limb or two is nothing to the american soldier. they don't need rehab, they don't need counseling (counseling especially is for wimps). why do you think the american soldier voted for bush.

:~)
