Martin Schram: Why is VA adversary, rather than advocate, of vets? : Columns : Naples Daily News

Martin Schram: Why is VA adversary, rather than advocate, of vets? : Columns : Naples Daily News

When it comes to war and peace, we indeed are two Americas.

One fights our nation’s wars. The other pays those who go to war so the rest of us, our children and our grandchildren, won’t have to.

Don't look pass the article. Just the headline of the article should give you an answer to your question.

Well judging by the stories in the news article I think the treatment of vets is nothing less than shameful. I would suggest that one of the criteria in order to be an adjudicator should be military service in an active area...Sounds like they are working for a private insurance company and worried more about saving a few bucks rather than the vets involved.

I don't get it. Aren't the Chinese the ones paying for the war? We are in hock up to our eyeballs to China because of the war and the tax cuts for the mega wealthy.
