Disabled Vet Recalled for Iraq Duty
April 18, 2008
Buffalo News

BUFFALO, NY - James Raymond lost the hearing in his left ear while fighting in Afghanistan. The former U.S. Army specialist later suffered a knee injury that required him to be flown back home for surgery.

In September 2004, he was given an honorable discharge and the Department of Veterans Affairs determined that he was 10 percent disabled, enabling him to receive $120 a month for the rest of his life.

So it was much to his surprise April 17 when Raymond -- now a University at Buffalo student -- got a call from his stepfather that he was being deployed again -- to Iraq.

"I thought it was a joke, and then I was shocked," said Raymond, 26, who is from Irondequoit, a suburb of Rochester.

Raymond figured it was all just a big misunderstanding. He thought he would be able to call the Army's human resources department, explain that he is a disabled vet and that they would cancel his redeployment.

1. Can'6 help but draw the conclusion that the malAdministration wants no survivors

Survivors are SO expensive and cheney can't skim enough off Veteran care to satisfy his greedy masters.

No jobs, no future in America so the class that brought those conditions about won't want any trained warriors left standing in these United States.

Never really believed there was evil until the past few years and the Iraq 'War' which was just a sideshow to distract from the War on America waged by The Few, The Proud, The Giant Corporations.

There IS evil and they can't turn lead into gold, so they are turning blood into gold.

Would the SS show up at my door step if I were to say to cheney what cheney said to Leahy and added 'hard'?
