Broken Promises

It’s hard not to get discouraged, particularly through several administrations that have gained office on so many broken promises, but by far the most disgusting of all has to be those promises made to our nations veterans that are never or only halfheartedly fulfilled. These aren't just throw away’s, these are men and women that have willingly given of themselves in order to keep us free and help preserve our American way of life, only to be tucked away, overdosed on pain medication, abandoned in the back alleys of too many cities and kept “on hold” when they desperately need the medical care they have been promised and have so completely earned.

Don’t tell us you are mad as hell, show us by doing! Don’t tell us you’re looking into it, toss out the bums and get some people in there that will work the problem and last of all, don’t wait for yet another investigation, get your tired old rump out of that nice desk chair and go talk to the Vet’s yourself. A commander in chief is still a commander and every commander knows you lead by example, out in front, leading the way.

For every veteran that has died “waiting” for care, an equal number of bureaucrats should be lined up and shot in front of the hospital. For every administrator that can’t or won’t help get a Vet off the street, their worldly possessions should be seized, sold, and the money used to get those Vets a hot meal and a warm place to bunk down for the night.

Continue to refuse and just give us lip service and you might see a zero volunteer rate for the next war. Americans may indeed be a bit too patriotic but they aren't stupid and a lot of us are getting tired of being treated that way!
