Given that the administration has ignored the Gulf War syndrome testimony before Congress and decided to create a new generation of vets, I am glad someone is at least attempting to hold this administration accountable. |

It's a shame that the rich people of this country got their big tax cut and the Vets who served their country get their benefits cut. |

Says a lot about supporting the troops if you ask me. |

I guess tax cuts are more important than the troops to some people. |

Um, don't start bringing the Clinton Administration into this... it was that administration that ignored so-called Gulf War syndrome. |

This sounds like a frivolous lawsuit. I do not believe that many retirement homes provide: - on-site pharmacy - on-site X-ray and electrocardiogram services - annual physicals - on-site dentists The main person that benefits here is the trial lawyer. |

Something Wicked This Fae Comes
|
This isn't the first disgruntled Vets story we have heard lately. Gvok, Didn't you post an article a while back about Vets or current military personnel receiving substandard care? Something about the military not paying for meals. What a shame. If we can't take care of our current military, and Veterans, then we need to pull back overseas and reorganize. We should never extend ourselves to the point that those that are serving and have served have to suffer. Let's hope Bush/Rumsfeld's new reoganization (redeployment) of the military that has begun rectifies some of these problems. |

Well, the testimony was before Congress which was majority Republican, mainly people who are still serving now. |

I disagee. I think the fact that Congress has ignored Gulf War Syndrome and approved another war in the region is significant. I don't know what you mean by sidestepping. |

I wonder if they will win the lawsuit? ie is it valid? One undeniable truth about human nature is that people always believe they are getting the short end of the stick and always want more. Now by no means am I accusing these vets of doing this, just pointing out that it is a possibility to examine. |

Pity that website only accepts SUBMISSIONS from vets, gvok, and then are edited and posted to suit the owner's political agenda. They don't accept POSTS. |
