If the troops do get to come home...

I like Dennis too, but he will never get elected. But I am glad he continues to run and turn the dialogue to the important issues.

Some important imformation that directly relates to this thread on returning vets:

Why is this? Aren't they our heroes? Why aren't they being counted, who benefits by denying them benefits and care?

While independent security employees receive at least three times the pay, and aren't held legally acountable for any of their actions, our children are denied their due.

 

We've never been allowed to see the flag draped coffins returning home, maybe that way it's easier to deny the actual cost of this whole thing. Same way Sadaam did his mass burials.

 

I wouldn't trust the resulting testimony. Besides I don't think I could tolerate his girly cries.

 

How long do you think our discussion can continue before Wacky and Pepik step in?

 

Haha!

Speaking from experience?

Sorry, but I'm not about to follow in Jerry Garcia's footsteps.

 

You may want to believe that you haven't turned your back on fellow veterans and Soldiers currently serving, but that really is not the case.

 

oh really, just who the fuck do you think you are ? you don't fucking know me or anything about me. you have no fucking clue about what I do or support and I sure as fuck haven't turned my back on my fellow vets or those currently serving

so get off your goddamned high horse and don't pretend to know me until you've walked my path

 

:lol:

 

yup yup. Very sad.

 

The sad thing is what this administration touts as brave heros are already returning broken and sick and the VA and this administration is doing their best to ignore them and give them the run around. Funny they don't do that to Blackwater or Halliburton.

 

That's not sad gardner. That's typical. Ask any VietNam era veteran.

 

Your sig put a smile on my face.
