Are these officials going to take care of the vets, as in medical care?

Question

And maybe the presidential peopleshould mention it, doesn't matter where it started, it must stop, my friend had a rough time getting anyone here at the VA. If they cannot do anything then get out all of them. If we throw BP agents in jail then they can be also. You know how in the H*ll could they let Walter Reed go down so bad. what in the world are they thinking. I have always said that some stuff that Bush does seems like a robot and then the administration does weird stuff. It's like they don't want to offend anyone, except the ones that matter. The Congress people better get their act together.

Answer 1

Like I said before, congress needs to be investigated, don't you think?????

Answer 2

Do you realize that WWII produced 6 times the number of veterans then we had in all previous wars and skirmishes ?The number of ill and infirmed from this generation is ever increasing as well as dieing off. Apparently the Congress has not done its job of allocating adequate funds since that war ended. Put the blame right where it belongs on those who determine the spending bills not on the President.

Answer 3

That may be the MAIN reason the Army, Navy, Air Force, & Department of Defence are top contributers to the Ron Paul for President campaign.
Scroll all the way to the bottom:

They know Ron Paul ex-USAF will see that the veterans needs are a FIRST priority with him, when he's elected to President.

Answer 4

John McCain has been a leading advocate in the Senate for disabled veterans throughout his entire career. He fought for nearly fifteen years, introducing numerous bills, to ensure that veterans with service-connected disabilities can receive the retirement benefits that they have earned, as well as the disability compensation benefits that they are entitled to. He has also worked to ensure that veterans can have their disability claims processed in a timely manner, working with the VA to rectify its huge backlog of claims and providing additional resources for that purpose.

John McCain believes very strongly that service members who suffered permanent injuries in service to our nation should not be forced to give up their disability compensation in order to collect their retirement pay. For this reason, John McCain has been a staunch supporter of repealing the historic ban on receiving both disability and retirement pay at the same time. Over the past few years, John McCain has successfully pushed for provisions to compensate disabled retired veterans for this disparity. Now, because of his efforts, veterans with severe combat-related disabilities are able to collect their retirement and disability compensation at the same time. John McCain will continue to fight for equal treatment of disabled veterans under the retirement system. In an effort to help disabled veterans with their health care, he cosponsored a measure to allow disabled veterans to be enrolled in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, the same health insurance offered to Senators and Congressmen. He has also supported higher payments to disabled veterans and survivors of veterans who died because of service connected injuries.

John McCain has worked to increase VA resources for paralysis research, and he spearheaded an effort to establish a Blind Rehabilitation Center in Tucson, Arizona to help the 1,200 vets on waiting lists for rehab services for the blind.
