Another Notch

Courtesy of Eschaton:

Those lawyers say that there is a systemic problem and more and more injured soldiers are being shuffled off the Defense Department books to the VA. The lawyers - including Mark Waple of Fayetteville, who is representing Twohig - say they are reluctant to take cases to the Army Physical Evaluation Board because they rarely win.

"I think the Army Physical Evaluation Board is broken," Waple said. "The DoD would rather buy another cruise missile than medically retire someone. Systemically, what we've seen in the last seven years, they just seem to give a zero, 10, 20 percent disability so they are no longer on the DoD payroll. It is almost like a fix is in somewhere."


Duh, the "fix is in" on our veterans. Anyone who says this administration, or the Republicans that make up the administration, give a rat's patootie about the soldiers they have sent out to die for this country, has their head up someone's ass. This administration has systematically eliminated benefits for veterans since the Dumb One was put into office.

It beats me why so many families of the soldiers wounded and suffering this type of crap at the hands of this administration somehow still support Dumbya. If not them, then who?
