"I took a bullet for this country and now I am a lazy leech getting Entitlements"?

A disabled Nam Vet sent me that pie chart of who receives Government "Entitlements". He is an Independent voter, equally critizing Dems and Reps, but he is FURIOUS over this. "I was learning Obama, but after this Entitlement CRAP, there is no doubt in my mind".

I wrote back to him, I fully agree. I am a leech also who took a government salary to care for the most needy of our society; disabled children and adults. A person's worth is only in how much MONEY they make.

Thank you, for your service. He wrote back to me, "Thank you, for YOURS". I cried that he said that.
