RE: A Slap in the Face, Courtesy of the Department of Veterans Affairs

This so deeply resonates with the shit show my dad went through with VA. He served Vietnam, made it out 'alive'. Got leukemia from agent orange, and the other classified chemicals of war. Finally, 3 years after his death they recognized leukemia as a disability.
Please...hang in there. It will come. It has to right itself.
I am glad that you are again, right as rain!

What grieves me in this subject is the soldier who sacrifices his life and health for the fame of his commander... In the end, he is thrown on the side of the road while his commander's shoulder is full of all sorts of medals.

Exactly. And then shunned by the people. It's such a broken system. It needs to stop.
