That's the Republican approach. Wage war so that their business partners can clean up with no bid contracts and the sale of weapons systems. Of course, all of this greed is made possible with the support of young men and women who fight the wars.
Now Simpson, the leading Republican on the President's deficit commission, is wondering why these disabled vets are so expensive. VoteVets.org is advocating for his Simpson's resignation. Simpson should have been removed for saying that social security is a milk cow with 310 million tits.
Washington DC – The nation’s largest progressive veterans organization, VoteVets.org, is calling on resident Obama to relieve former Senator Alan Simpson from his chairmanship of a deficit reduction commission for defamatory comments about veterans.
In a letter to the President, Jon Soltz, Iraq War Veteran and Chairman of VoteVets.org, wrote, "On Tuesday, Senator Simpson actually put veteran's benefits on the chopping block... blaming disabled veterans for the country's fiscal situation. And for us, that is the final straw."
I am glad my dad didn't live to see this. He was a WW2 vet with post traumatic stress.
