Just for you Dude. "Pitiful is the Nation without heroes. Shameful is the one that, having them, forgets".

It's called Freedom Dude. Without Veterans, we would not be a free people. If not for the vets of WW II, we might be in work camps; camps run by the Krauts and Nips; and when you and I were useless to them, we'd be taken to a large hole full of dead bodies, and we would join them. You should be grateful for the men and women that have died for our counrty and our freedom. You don't even like yourself, do you?

well maybe i was to hard i know mental disease is rampant in vets. i can see how three decades would take it's toll. i guess the main delusion i see in vets is they seem to think everybody owes them something............. itsjustme whats the deal? where you wanting me to walk to? your not making any sense must be part of that three decade mental thing. take your meds crawl back in your hole and maybe you feel better later.

Guess I didn't click on Post Your Comment. And a tip of the hat to you itsjustme! I've tried to talk Dude into going to one of the local VA hospitals, or the American Legion or VFW; and voicing his opinions; he has yet to take me up on that offer. Butch and itsjustme are American hero's; in my eyes and the eyes of millions of Americans. What's your big accomplishment in life Dude? Being rude, disssing people you know nothing about, or nothing about what they did for you, and hating cops? Doesn't sound like you are storing treasures up in Heaven very well Dude!

DudeIII, it is obvious you never served in the military or your views would be a tad different. And if you think vets just sit around the house, not working, drawing a fat ass govt. check, so around and ask a vet about their income. Boy, I volunteered 3 decades of my life to the military not because I wanted to, but I felt I was obligated to give something back to the best damn country in the world for giving me the rights I do have. I was very fortunate to have received damn good training and a damn good bit of education in the military that allowed me to not only work top security for some of the finest figures in America, but it also gave me the right and ability to have my own business doing so. You say these vets need to get off of their butts and get a job, why dont you try to become a man and walk a mile, hell walk a tenth of a mile, in a true man's shoes. You'd fold like a 3 egg pudding. People like you make me want to vomit, you piece of trash.

Well said Butch; hat's off to ya! Then there are those that would go hide in a hole; a few on here come to mind.

16 could you supply us with a like or dislike means of voting on hear. It could give someone like me a chance to look back on our views and beliefs and make changes in our thinking. We never get to old for improvement.

If you don't think the health and welfare of the people that fought for your rights and freedom are worth it maybe it's time to find a new country. I would like to thank the Government for doing this for the brave boys and girls That laid it all on the line for us. If we are ever invaded we Veterans will be easy to spot. We will be the ones fighting to get to the arms and action. Whether we run, walk, crawl, use walkers, crutches, wheelchairs, or beg help getting our hospital beds rolled to it. Some things you believe in are just worth dieing for. If not life is meaningless. I don't hold ill will against people that their religion doesn't allow their members to participate in acts of war or aggression. As a true American will also fight for your freedom of religion. AMERICA. LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.

i don't think this has anything to do with deserves. if you read the article they are going to give some vets a chunk of money to get up off their rumps and get a job.

I agree with Yankee.
