Replugs Support the Troops and Veterans (NOT)
VA workload reports show that more than 600,000 disability claims are waiting to be answered!!!!!

http://www.kfoxtv.com/news/11044105/detail.html

From battling the enemy oversees to battling the system back home; all to familiar to American veterans. Now, a KFOX investigation has revealed how a growing backlog of disability compensation claims at the Department of Veterans Affairs has left many veterans waiting years for benefits they expected and needed much sooner.



But Sec. Nicholson says the VA is doing fine. Ya Right

2. Great post Monkeyman -
My brothers came out whole - pretty much - from that last war. Some of my family did NOT.

I have grave doubts about how these kids get treated from this war - and I will not stand for it.

One of my brother in laws - he was at que san - other end of the valley from Kwa (sorry for the spelling). He was so screwed by the VA. Started with treatment every 30 days - and then 60 days. It is now 90 days and he is dieing from cancer - almost certainly from those damn defoliants.

You know - they would NEVER have done this shit to WWII vets - they wouldn't have dared.

And they are doing it to them.

Joe
