Thanks to the VFW and American Legion older veterans getting left behind
As you all know the American Legion and VFW supported the Republicans. Instead of doing their jobs taken care of veterans and not knowing the facts. With the troops coming home from overseas with major injuries older veterans are being left behind. The staff levels at the VA are now at their breaking point. So older vets are being kicked to the back of the line.

The Democrats have made a promise to bring Mandatory funding to the floor for a vote. I know it will pass the House. The Senate will not pass it because of the same 14 Democrats who voted against it the last time. Plus Bush has promised to veto it if it does pass. Thanks to the endorsement of the VFW against 17 Democrats we veterans will still be left behind.

While I don't give a dam about the Legion or VFW they have forgot who they are. And all veterans will suffer for it. RANT
