- Remember what Nobel Peace Prize Winner Kissinger said,"Military men are just dumb, stupid animals that we use as pawns in foreign policy." He is a big supporter of the troops.

- Our government officers aren''t doing enough to provide the care our men and women deserve for serving their country. I know first hand because my 35 yr old son took his life in Jan, 2006 after serving his country and yes I agree that the military covers up more then what they should. Had they helped my son when he was there in Irag maybe just maybe he might still be alive today.
No one knows other then him and the others go threw over there and have to come home with nightmares, being jumpie, nervouse, loss of employment, fighting the VA system to allow benefits they rightful deserve. The endless proof lyes on the soldier to prove they need help but is told that the doctor can only see you every 5 months is a crime.
These soldiers need he help no sooning when they step on us soil not 1, 2. 0r 10 yrs later.
The families left behind to carry on with their loss is beyond anyones imagination. I carried my son 9 months, raised him to be a fine young man, to serve his country with pride and it angers me that our officials rather it be the military, or congress don''t even care enough to make our men and women in uniform their top priotity. Money is being spent on everything other then providing our sons and daughters in uniform the upmost medical care possible.
No amount of money can ever replace my son but it would of helped him in getting the treatment and needs met. - Reply to this comment
- Soldiers medical needs are being overlooked everyday. Their files are mysteriously lost!Med Boards in reality can be overridden by commanders.A soldier is at the mercy of his superiors once he signs on the dotted line.I ask all young people to investigate before talking to high pressure recruiters.They are slick and tell you what you want to hear.Once in,you learn the real story and how you are no longer a person with a constitutional rights to protect you. You are reduced to property and are only two boots on the ground somewhere you may not want to and don''t you have to wonder why if so few soldiers are re-enlisting.It can''t be all that splendid.Just talk to some of themStop them at the airports or on the street.Talk to them.While your at it,shake their hands or give them a hug and thank them,because not only did they more than likely risk their lives for us,they took being belittled and their needs neglected.Ask your Presidential candidates as they come through your city what''s gonna be done about the military health care system and why so many soldiers end their lives.It was happening alot during the three weeks I stayed with my son near his base at Fort Campbell,KY.It is happening,but the military tries to keep it hush hush and out of the publics eye. It is heartbreaking.Force our candidates to take notice.Call Bob Dole or write,he suppose to be heading up the health care system with the military now.Just do something!Take a stand for god sakes!

What''''s up, can''''t find the shift key on your keyboard?
WHEN WRITING SOMETHING BESIDES A LETTER I USE THE CAPITAL LETTERS.
YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT GETS ONTO ME ABOUT THAT.
ANYWAY THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS REALLY BIG PROBLEM WE HAVE AS A NATION.
REGARDS,
