Amazing nothing changes. Journalist keep reporting the same problem. Change the dates to 1970 and the same problem existed back then. The country never learned anything in 40 years.

I feel sorry for her family. Her 15 (3 Months) minutes of fame will kill her family. When you sell your soul to the devil you have hell to pay.

I tried for years as a NSO in the 70's to get the government help for combat veterans. It is different now. It was hard because the system was controled by folks who was about as close to combat as Fort Knox. I have little compassion for those bad backs because of weight gain and bad habits. Yes if you have PTSD and a combat veteran high blood pressure is common. But from training. Sorry.

I am sorry but I do not think high blood pressue amounts to a military disabily because of hard wear on our GI's. I do not think a broken leg in a private car wreak is from wear and tear of being a soldier.

I am for being good to our vets, but I want the Iraqi, Afgan vet with Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Traumatic Stress getting most of the money from disability payments.

I am for the girl raped by fellow soldiers while on duty getting PTSD payments without stress of proving it in court. For years many many retired military have been getting sugar for just spending 20 years in the military.

I honor their service, but I also honor my grand parents who paid taxes for 60 years and get nothing except a maze of insurance confusion when they go to the Doctor.

Now that I said my piece I want to say Obama is more apt to help combat veterans and stramline the VA then McCain. Why? McCain never has helped vets.

McCain thinks veterans complain too much. You see in my opinion John McCain who by most standards set by the Department of Veteran Affairs has PTSD.
