These corrupt politicians send our young men and women off to fight a war the politicians started, and then the politicians don't want to fund their treatment afterwards.


My cousin was a paratrooper in Afghanistan and he lost A LOT of comrades. I don't know how he manages to cope with those flashbacks. He is the strongest person I know. I think he copes by collecting various things, as he has a bad back from being a paratrooper and can't really walk well.


I agree 100 % our military deserves much better treatment and medical care when they come home.

No veteran should even be homeless.
