If Romney and the GOP have their way even vets care would be couponized. And if they get their way on vets pensions they would change it to a 401k program for all veterans including career vets and it is cashable at 59 1/2. Military vets would have to wait up to 20 years for their retirement benefits to use their 401k. They Tri Care and the VA would be coupons to buy private insurance.
How will that work if Obamacare is repealed and preexisting condition denial was in effect and you could lose your insurance or there were limits? How would that effect a vet with 100% disability?
Why in the HELL would anyone want to spend 20 or 30 years risking their life with those kind of benefits. There would be no reason to serve. If you got hurt or got sick you would be selling poppies on the street like vets used to do.
Remember the GOP has said that this is what they will do if elected. So if you are a veteran realize that you are only cannon fodder for the GOP to protect the right of billionaires and millionaires and corporations to rape and pillage everything.
The GOP would create a country that is not worth serving.
