They deserve the utmost respect. Is that why you don't respect WWII vets because you think the black vets got a bad shake? Are you thinking Obama is "sticking it to em" now and laughing or something?
I respect WW2 vets the same way I respect any vet from any other war. Not more, and not less.

Again, the shutdown should affect everyone, including veterans. And that includes WW2 Vets. And if Obama is screwing vets, the black ones get screwed too. As they should be.

It's the worst of my fellow veterans that have this sickening level of entitlement. It actually degrades them even after they've served for this nation.

We serve because we're proud. That's where it ends.
I agree that they serve because they are proud. But how dare you tell me when my husband was flying a 46 during Desert storm and I was raising a 2 year old kid that I wasn't a bit worried if my husband landed. There is no way you are a veteran and if you are, my apologizes, but I have a feeling you were pushing paper. My husband is a former Marine. What was your job?

My husband does not have a self entitlement. He's a top engineer for Northrop, and his buddy who also flew is doing just fine.

But it Cons who are attacking vets.

An estimated 170,000 of those 900,000 veterans could be affected by the two provisions of the House proposal that would place food assistance for jobless workers at risk.

RWwers have been pissing on our troops for years.

Breitbart news is an inaccurate biased right wing rag, and this article is not worth the time it takes to read it.

So are you saying that's it fine to barricade WW2 vets, but allow illegal aliens privilege.

Is this always about Black and White with you, how about Americans who have done their job and deserve to go to a memorial, without all the BS include. Give us a break you actually think cutting military benefits, closing memorial sites is not a cruel way to cut their major spending. This is all the governments fault and the only ones paying at the time is disabled vets and old vets.

You will hopefully make it to "old age" and I do hope you see the BS you followed, hopefully it won't effect your life any.....don't hold your breath.
