(10,602 posts)Mean spiritedness toward poor people, sick people, minorities, gays, or anyone who supposedly gets government help is just plain unAmerican. Veterans actually are 2nd class citizens when it comes to treatment and benefits. A job a Walmart or Krispy Kreme at minimum or low wage is an insult to veterans and even working Americans. Vets make good cannon fodder and economic fodder when they return. And the damaged ones get pretty much thrown aside.
And there is no mention of our KIA's in Afghanistan anymore. I don't care that one asshole called me an embarrassment. They have their head up their ass as far as I am concerned. I wonder if they ever served. If they did then they really do not get it.
The point is that we allow the GOP to attack these people and actually cut vets benefits while they blame Dems or corner them to do it. Then people vote for these DIRTY ROTTEN BIGOTED HATEFUL BASTARDS. I have no use for the GOP at any level. What makes it worse is that Dems seem to have no spine too often.
So what are vets serving for? They are serving so that Koch's and their billionaire allies can rape just about everyone and everything on the planet. Somehow risking coming home for the rich Koch scum is outrageous. America should be about economic and social justice and not about economic pillage of workers.
