Soul of a Veteran
The Obama administration and all his faithful followers are failing to acknowledge a very important "X" factor about the American veteran. The true American veteran can not be led around by the nose nor do they fall for the distorted realities that the administration uses to con the general public. The veteran knows a reality that most of the general public could never understand. Most combat veterans leave a piece of their soul on the battlefield and carry the ghosts of their fallen friends for an entire lifetime. They gave all for something bigger than themselves and did their duty without question over and over again because they believed in America. We always knew that our nation would never leave us behind.
What has changed? For the first time in my life I feel that America no longer has my back. There are those in our government who consider an old soldier a used up liability to their "new system". The soldiers of today make sacrifices along with their families over and over again with each deployment into harms way. Their families stay home and suffer the constant thought that their loved one may never come home. Long repeated deployments come with consequences few would understand and it is obvious that Obama and his band of merry thugs don't care because of their outward expression of antipathy they have for the vets.
The leadership of a nation sets the pace and lays out policy. This America today is nothing like the America we all thought we were fighting for. America has been lost to some real twisted ideological misguided egg heads who have no real idea of what reality in the real world is. I tell all of you screwed up politicians to go on a deployment without your fancy staff operators and get a feel for what it's all about. Step over a few bodies and see the results of your handy work and see what it does to your elitist attitudes. Show a little more respect for the veterans because they are not going to tolerate what you have been dishing out!
I have found too many instances if being ashamed of my government the past five years, but none so egregious as in the past few weeks groups of WWII veterans were turned away from the war mortal in Washington, DC due to the partial shutdown over the budget. These veterans made the painstaking trip to see the memorial for perhaps the first and most likely the last time. when I thought the government could sink no lower the scandalous act of denying death benefits to the families of fallen soldiers thrust Obama and his minions into the headlines again. How much lower can a government go as to use American veterans as political owns? The appalling acts of Americans toward the Viet Nam vets back in the sixties was shameful, but here we are, a once proud country demeaning the men and women who lay down their lives for their ungrateful government. Shame, shame, shame!
