Misplaced Priorities?
One would certainly think, or at least hope, that those whom we elect to public office would always be in touch with the will of the people? Apparently not, if the way that Congress is dragging it’s feet on this New G.I. Bill is any gage!
With only 266 in the House, and 58 in the Senate (as of this moment) co-sponsoring this Bi-Partisan Bill, you have to wonder if those who help to create, exacerbate, or prolong wars, really care about the welfare of their peers who are actually out there in harm’s way, protecting our “Elected Government’s” right to live the good life?
If “Our Military’s Finest” are good enough to fight and bleed for our Nation, then they are certainly deserving of the few benefits that they are afforded upon their return! And any elected official who does not agree with this is not (in my opinion) worth the generous salaries that they are being paid to enact the Nation‘s business!
If an Intelligent and Caring Government is the Brain, and We The People are the Soul, then our Armed Forces are certainly the Arms, the Legs and the Rest of the Body! And after all is said and done, it is the rest of this gallant body that bleeds and suffers the most in warfare!
(VERITAS - TRUTH)
