This is not a new problem, not by a long stretch.

...

OBTW: There is no NEW WAR. We've been calling air strikes against ISIS for weeks.

Making excuses for the warmongers is so lame.

And the questions about the new money to be spent is a question for all the warmongers.

Notice they have no answer, just deflection?

begging for money for veterans. And I have only gotten angrier, thinking about it.

They are structured just like the ASPCA ads, or the Feed the Children ads, except that instead of beaten puppies, they have pictures of veterans who've had their limbs blown off or are living with brain damage or severe PTSD.

You're supposed to send 19 dollars a month.

There are no words for the obscenity of this profitmongering machine and a government that will not even meet the needs of the soldiers it maims. We have how many veterans on FOOD STAMPS (just slashed, by the way, with the signature of our "Democratic" president), benefits are still being cut and called "military cuts," and soldiers have to beg for money from private citizens to meet their basic needs.

It is evil. There is no excuse for it. IT. MUST. END.
