I have been reading articles regarding health care for veterans. My limited understanding is that there is no disability pay or mental health treatment. The governments both from here and foreign should pay, NOT the hard working people and fed up taxpayers!
Once again the rich, who finance these ‘tear-roars’ along with their Hollywood-type production of fear mongering via the news media, must stop this nonsense of creating unnecessary wars, which hurt people. I have read the ones fighting the wars are mostly poor folks from rural communities.
The people most hurt seem to be the ones alive — our injured veterans and those who lost their loved ones to war. I see little assurance from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to provide adequate care to those with post traumatic stress disorders. There should not be the delay of disability benefits whatsoever for these people and family members, either.
I wonder what details were NOT clearly presented within the documents (prior to signing up for any armed forces) stating that the veterans are NOT entitled to any short and long term health treatment after being disabled. The promises for health care provisions should be kept for anyone fighting wars regardless of anything subject to changes.
Leaving our recent veterans coming home from this ‘Eye-Rack’ and Afghanistan wars and out onto our streets with nowhere to turn to for assistance or help seem similar to the fate of those veterans who came out of the Vietnam War. There seems to be unfairness for these killing machines. And machines do need periodic maintenance or else become useless to society.
From another point of view, one killer deserves this just punishment of little or no medical treatment for harming innocent victims of the ‘Eye-Rack’ war or any wars (like the Palestinians and Israelis). Perhaps, justice is indeed blind folded and does not see that the poor seem to be left behind after doing the dirty work for those who have the means to help them in return.
Besides, the count of over three thousand dead for our military ‘servants’ from the ‘Eye-Rack’ war, this seems little comfort compared to the countless others (especially the women and children) that do not make the statistics on our headline news. The ones alive should have the second chance to live.
Any government with moral and ethical principles should entitle survivors of war to better treatment with dignity no matter how horribly disfigured or maimed for life any person by this national tragedy. Perhaps, justice will be served via the lawyers of these warriors, who were defrauded for fighting an illegal war.
