the cost of war
Dec. 3rd, 2011 09:40 pmIn this war economy we have increased the number of veterans with disabilities to a level unseen since the Vietnam war and with the large number of disabled veterans is an enormous cost. We are supposedly broke, the only reason we are broke is because we gave all the money to the capitalist pigs on Wall Street and to the multinational firms who owe little allegiance to the United States, but are quick to rob this country of its wealth. So I would not be surprised that veterans of these wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will find themselves struggling to get care for wounds and disabilities that were caused by repeated deployments to the war zone. Hey, Congress probably will give them some lip service, they are always 'supporting the troops' but don't expect much from the 1%.
