65. They have been doing this for a long time and I do hope this election Republican voters

May 2014

realize they are voting for people who will just as soon see a Vet die than willingly
support more funding for their care and well being...sorry, that is how I see it.

PTSD has had devastating effects on returning soldiers..the Republicans in office
do not want to talk about that..reminds them of all their bullshit wars.
