Anyone watching 60 minutes?
Lesley Stahl is now reporting on "active-duty" employees of various companies who get deployed or Iraq/Afghanistan, only to return home and find their jobs gone or filled by someone else. :(

At least Katie Couric isn't reporting this!

5. I think this is a federal law and it's being ignored.
I don't necessarily believe in the war, but I do believe in our soldiers and they should receive both the financial and medical support they deserve when they return home. They are doing a great job, if not for a good reason, and they are being treated abominably.:patriot:

6. Yeah, explain to me how Katie

7. Keep screwing over the military, and then wonder why no one wants to enlist.

8. As a country, we should be ashamed of the way we treat our veterans.
Not in our name.
