Some comments on my last posts.
I would think that benefits to Veterans would be somewhat etched in concrete. You have left your home and life behind you, tone where you were told, trained as we wanted you to be trained, sent you off, perhaps in "harms way," perhaps you were wounded or lost a limb, or were incapacitated in some way, we honored your service, we agreed to certain financial commitments, BUT, things are a little tough now, we have all these "illegal immigrants" that need our support. We weighed the two, VETERANS vs ILLEGALS, and, well, we appreciate your service, but YOU lost.
INCONCEIVABLE .... but it is apparently happening.
We, as a country, have hit bottom, we are now a country of "bottom feeders." Our commitments mean nothing, at least to those in this country. I imagine to other countries that we support, we honor those.
I have some other "Good Old American" suggestions.
How any veterans are buried in this country, and around the world. Why not go around and collect all the grave markers, got to be millions of them, maybe billions, and have a gigantic National Yard Sale, at one of the Veterans Memorials in Washington, and sell them for $100 each, then, give that to the "illegals," that should take care of them for a while. AND, empty out all the Veterans Hospitals and let the illegals live in them, there are already doctors and kitchens, it would help many of them. They could register to vote there, and maybe even designate each one as a "Polling" place, they would not even have to leave home to vote, how great is that. What? The veterans. They could go home, let Mom take care of them. Hey, we gave them a job, paid them, trained them, fed them, so they got a little sharapnel or a bullet , or lost and arm or a leg, we took care of them, while they were in.
And, who will go out and collect all those headstones, the elderly, those on SS, let them work for it, pay them a little, could be their annual increase, be more than they are getting now, and the old bas ... aw .... folks .... will get a little cardio out of it.
