I took a cab ride the other day, in the cab I saw a picture of the cab driver in uniform with a fellow solder. During the small talk the cab driver brought up that he was a veteran in the war. I asked him about that and then asked him what he's doing working so late. He should be at home with his family (it was 1am, just got off work) He laughed and said, "Even veterans need to pay bills". I said "Shouldn't the government be doing that? You did risk a lot fighting for them" He replied "You bet we did, but unfortunately it's not nearly as much as they promised" We talked some more, I left him a good tip and while getting out of the cab thanked him for fighting for us. Shame there isn't much more I can do aside from complain how lame the majority of governments are. Heads are way too far up their arse. Those men and women deserve a lot more than an honorable discharge. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

I believe the department of Veterans administration handles things like PDS. Not real sure though. I think that 12.5 Billion is going to be taken from the department of defense.

We would prefer disrespect the people who give their blood, sweat, and tears for this country, but turn around and give hand outs to the people who are too lazy to work? Something is wrong here So wait, we want to save 12.5 Billion by not helping soldiers and veterans who desperately need care, but we’re willing to spend billions on companies that ran themselves into the ground?
