1. But

"conservatives, who wave flags and display magnets instead of serving in the military themselves say that many of our kids are faking their PTSD so this is no big deal. Besides they'd most likely get killed in car wrecks. So why waste the money by giving it to the VA when it is a "proven fact" its not needed? This is just made up liberal garbage. Can't chat now, gotta head out to the support the troops rally.
