Check out this headline:
"Injured Iraq vets sue VA over health care delays"
Can we please stop giving these false patriots credit for supporting the military?
Frustrated by delays in health care, a coalition of injured Iraq war veterans is accusing VA Secretary Jim Nicholson of breaking the law by denying them disability pay and mental health treatment.
The class-action lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, filed Monday in federal court in San Francisco, seeks broad change in the agency as it struggles to meet growing demands from veterans returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Suing on behalf of hundreds of thousands of veterans, it charges that the VA has failed warriors on several fronts — from providing prompt disability benefits, to adding staff to reduce wait times for medical care to boosting services for post-traumatic stress disorder.
...The lawsuit also accuses the VA of deliberately cheating some veterans by allegedly working with the Pentagon to misclassify PTSD claims as pre-existing personality disorders to avoid paying out benefits. The VA and Pentagon have generally denied such charges.
Please read the entire article. The Republican Party is morally bankrupt.

Gus this is funny! However in case we go deep into the topic, i think its wrong and touching as well. The people of Iraq are suffering and the veterans have helped our soldiers in Iraq and they do deserve a disability cheque as long as they are disabled.
