Of the three Tim McVeigh was the only one with combat experience.

What are you guys talking about?? I was discussing the stillborn White House plan to move the responsibility for veterans' service related medical
treatment from the VA to commercial insurance providers. What does McVeigh, Whitman and LHO have to do with that?

Ok, ok....we have shifted gears and now the topic is the secret Dept of Homeland Security report about homegrown subversives. Janet "Reno"
Napolitano mustn't like me since I'm a returned Iraq war veteran, pro-life, anti-illegal immigration, anti-big government, and a pro-2nd Amendment NRA
member. I sort of liked some of Ron Paul's ideas but I don't have any of his bumper stickers on my truck. Should I anticipate a visit from black
helicopters with SWAT guys rappeling down with MP-5 machineguns blazing

Hey,at least you're not one of them Vietnam Veterans....now EVERYBODY hated them. I remember when the media seemed to start every story with "Today a
Vietnam Veteran held police at bay......and on a related story another Vietnam Vet was seen jay walking on Main street, law abiding citizens were confused
about where to walk to avoid him...and finally tonight a search is on for a robbery suspect...... witnesses describe him as an unkept, sullen looking man,
wearing a field jacket , most likely a Vietnam Veteran, so he may be extremely dangerous.

Back to the issue at hand, I am positive Rahm Emanuel is way to savy to allow Barry O. to go to far with the Ponzi scheme which has wounded Vets paying for
their treatment with private insurance. It was probably just a tasty tidbit for his rabid leftwing support to nurse on, and it did have "Beret Boy"
Shenseki's support (he is still mad about being run off).
In the long run the VA will continue to be underfunded, underappreciated and over talked about by people in Washington who dispise the military and could care less about what kind of treatment our wounded warriors get. That is a shame, always has been and always will be. |

Personally, I think the White House was testing the waters to see if everyone was comatose. I don't think it was a case of "throwing a bone" to
BHO's radical left base, the wide ranging Dept of Defense cuts achieved that.
I also agree with Jackbull that Shinseki has a bone to pick with the military community. Shinseki will keep himself occupied as one of BHO's "experts" until old Daniel Inouye (D, Hawaii) dies or retires and he gets that Senate seat (which is what Shinseki has desperately wanted since he retired from the Army). |
