Those that come home alive, but maimed, are left to rot in hospitals not fit for our pets much less our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, brothers and sisters. The rest of our returning troops lucky enough not to be killed or maimed are left to their own devises to make ends meet while they try to recover their lives. Oh, and yes when they go and try to get back their old job back, they often find their job has been out sourced to India, China, South American, Mexico, etc. Being a Vietnam veteran, I was hoping things would be different this time around. Actually it's worse now than it was for us Vietnam Vets. Wake up America, its just not enough to sit back and say "I'm American, God Bless Our Troops, We Support You". Yes support them, and yes, God Bless this wonderful country, but do it right this time around. Write to your representatives and tell them just how d..m mad you are about the way we are treeting our returning vets. Fortunately, I was one of the lucky vets returning from Vietnam. I was able to make a life for myself and my family. Others were not as lucky, but the rest of us turned a blind eye to their plight. Not this time America. I apologize for ranting on. Thankyou
