This kind of stuff just blows my mind.
Military personel go into service with low pay to begin with. And now the Bush crew is considering cutting military benefits to those serving in Afghanistan and Iraq
link. And then there's the story about the Sargent who recovered from a coma and returned to the US only to be jerked around by the military
link. I dunno how much the veterans' affairs should do for veterans, but I'm pretty sure they should handle Sargent Turner's nerve damage promptly. And, I think they should help her find housing. And I believe they should even send her stuff to her so she doesn't have to fly to Germany herself.
9% of the US population are veterans and those veterans make up 23% of our homeless population. What gives?
