Aren't we just so proud of how our war vets are treated:: she says with a sneer.
Word is that many of the returning injured vets are being billed and even turned over to collection agencies from bills, by guess who, naw really take a guess. THE GOVERNMENT!
I understand that it's mostly bookkeeping mistakes but please.
it makes me ashamed and angry. One of the men had been billed for $2000.00 and threatened with collections, I think it was for receiving combat pay while he was learning to walk on his new prosthetic leg the other had been severely wounded and was being billed for his sign on bonus for not fulfilling his contract. The news highlighted two men with different stories so I may be getting them mixed up. sorry that's just me "mixed up". But the gist of the story is correct.
let's put this into perspective. Somebody somewhere is billing this man for $2000.00 and our President is preparing for some kind of summit (sorry, again, my ignorance is showing here) somewhere and they will be paying $3700.00 a night for a slew of suites per suite per night.
now whether your pro or con Bush and/or Iraq you've got to admit somethings wrong with this picture!!
well once again i thank you, (if there is a you) for listening to me rant.
until next time God Bless!
