that a Lie

I have been in the VA system for 30 years

it was gutted by BUSH to pay for his war

it worked fine until some'' heck of a job'' bushie

took over

As a disabled vet with PTSD and rated 100% I have attempted suicide 3 times, I still think about it at times, the VA gives me enough drugs that doing it, isn''t a problem, it''s the harm I would cause my wife and children, the government would help them less if I was not here, than they do with me here. The system is messed up for the families of disabled veterans.

And, its just a coincidence that the fascists call any set of symptoms they can''t--or won''t--treat medically, PTSD and prescribe anti-depressants...a side effect of which is suicide...

Its just a coincidence that vaccinations can lead to low grade brain inflammation and followed by pesticide exposure can cause more damage...AND that this leads to depression and suicide AND anti-depressant use.

Check out Dr. Blaylock''s work on vaccinations...you can find articles and links, I believe, at Dr. Mercola''s site as well.

why does every topic discussion come to laying blame on liberals or conservatives? the VA is the problem here and has been poorly administered since it''s inception, regardless of which political party is in control. it is the nature of any governmental entity run by incompetent people(democrats or republicans)

[ghostcommand]

Each veteran should be evaluated by a competent private doctor and then be issued a medical debit card they can use in their own community. I am a veteran that has used the VA and the majority of the doctor''s, nurses, and the bureaucracy itself does not function very well. If you have a problem, it could take 4 years to resolve that problem. If one moves to another geographical you start all over again. If there are journalist''s that are veteran''s then there is a good story in this ''cuckoo nest.''

As a Desert Storm Vet,

who was gassed and also exposed to biological agents over in the first Gulf War, I have also tried the suicide route. The guilt and frustration that you bring back to the real "world" after a war, never seems to go away, and if it were not for finding Christ, Prozac, and Morphine for injuries sustained plus about a dozen other medications I''m on, and also being blessed with a loving wife and family; I no doubt would not be here today to spend Easter with my Wife & kids...

You can say what you want, but there is little doubt that our country is on the verge of becoming a fascist
state. What I am wondering though, is how do you live with the lies? Do you not know what is really happening, or don''''t you care? It''''s people like you, who are backing this diabolical regime; that is now in office, that is giving all Americans a bad name.

You may not see or realize it now, but you will pay, and pay and pay. It may not be now, but it will come around to bite you in the butt. Whether it is in taxes, or in blood. How will you explain to your grandchildren how you traded their inheritance for a few cheap lies? Posted by renrivers

So what can be done besides whining on this website message board? What have you personally done? Do not claim to know what is really going on and just complain on a message board, wave a flag and put a yellow ribbon on your car? That is hypocritical.
