It's been Republican priorities that have allowed soldiers to have their GI Bill money purloined by dishonest private colleges. It has been militaristic priorities on both sides that have routinely funded Islamists, from the Northern Alliance to al Qaeda. Your side lets down soldiers too, and if that "personal responsibility" that conservatives like to talk about really mattered, you might focus on that.Frederic Christiehttp://thefredbc.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973889858777720002.post-16856775215836395662014-07-13T10:21:19.904-07:002014-07-13T10:21:19.904-07:00So lemme get this straight.

He may/may not have served in combat with all the problems that entail. He'll be out on the street, his only recourse the VA which may/may not adaquately address any problems he has from his time in service. He'll be living in a nation whose leaders have on more than one occasion depicted recent veterans as potentially crazed, unstable and likely to go off the deep end (Viet Nam vets redux?). Have I got this right so far? Because if I do then it's another potential source for eventually justifying the imposition of martial law and suspension of ALL our liberties in the name of "peace and security". Other such sources include the flood of illegals presently at our borders, the disregard of actual terrorist muslims in our nation, the attack on religious liberties (my latest blog post gives a recent example, it won't affect just Catholics either), the list goes on. <br /><br />Ten years ago I'd have dismissed rants like mine as tinfoil hat material. Now I'm not so sure. <br /><br />God help our vets, God help us all. See you in the reeducation camps. Subvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523683273450353313noreply@blogger.com
