That makes me sad.. but hey... I guess we're gonna need more help at the VA hospitals, with all those new beds to fill. So, I wonder how many are willing to put in some extra time to help out all those coming back with PTSD, and debilitating injuries. Those who are 100% disabled will file for disability checks, and with proof will get them, though with so many wounded coming back, and previous wars, no doubt the Republicans will find a way to whittle down those checks to make room for all the new guys being brought aboard. Some Veterans will just have to make due.. because they can not earn a paycheck.. and the only money coming in will be those VA checks. Does not sound very fair...but I guess that is how it will be.
