Under Bush, A lot of good soldiers who have been damaged have been sent to the scrap heap. We don't spend money to repair totaled vehicles, why care for "Totaled" soldiers?<BR/> If local government can do anything to help a vet, I think it should try.Chris Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14444443021159003156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-1130970590729546522007-08-16T09:05:00.000-04:002007-08-16T09:05:00.000-04:00The way the government treats vets is absolutely i...The way the government treats vets is absolutely insane. No disrespect to the Easton Popo, but after an officer is accidentally shot by a fellow officer, the city bends over backwards to help the widow who then sues the city for millions...on the other hand, a young soldier in Iraq may come home with a head wound and brain damage but yet get next to no health care and little to no money to support themselves. I'll guarantee a vet would never be able to sue the federal government for an accident in Iraq...believe me, if they could, Karoly would have a of new clients. The government treats military vets like second class citizens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-31971551042655205462007-08-16T08:29:00.000-04:002007-08-16T08:29:00.000-04:00I gotta say, that the MCall's position is surprisi...I gotta say, that the MCall's position is surprising. It's not the responsibility of local gov't is how I read it. But as I read the editorial, I was under the impression that they were just out to discredit a good idea proposed by two people that the MCall doesn't like: Angle and Dertinger. <BR/><BR/>That was the impression I got. The two "politicians" were pandering. I'll stick up for Ron and Charles on this one: I think their hearts are in the right place.LVDemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359661408192860813noreply@blogger.com
