Veterans Day: Honor the Soldier … Scorn the Chickenhawk

Honor the Veterans

We honor the brave men and women who have served in our armed forces.
Some of the most generous, dedicated, brave people we have ever met are veterans.
But the government scorns them …
Veterans returning from the front lines are labeled “potential terrorists”, to the horror of both theRepublican and Democratic leadership.
Veterans receive horrible health care. A former Pentagon spokesman says that inmates at Guantanamo are treated better than U.S. vets.
Veterans who exercise the freedom of speech which they fought for abroad are harassedbeaten, and then denied medical treatment. (It’s been that way for a long time.)
The big banks – which are continually being bailed out and otherwise enabled by the government – have been cheating veterans on their mortgages, and the government isn’t doing much about it. And in numerous other ways, veterans are treated like trash.
