Veterans should be entitled to crime victim benefits
Amid all the stories covering vets of Iraq, would it be appropriate to mention that those who died or were injured were the victims of the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld crime of taking us into war on false pretenses. To ignore the fact that American servicemen and servicewomen were sent into battle for nothing (except for a neo-con plan to control all the oil in the middle east)is to make it easier for others in the future to send our troops to fight without just cause. I salute and honor the vets today (all of my relatives were in WWII)I just wish they had served for a righteous cause.

5. No, they should just uprate the PTSD disability rating by the VA. Same effect.
But with actual health care behind it as well. Though I haven't been all that impressed with VA psychs.
