Like opinions & as$holes.
I know my take absolutely stinks for most.
I repeat- its intent is not to dump on veterans. Theyve been thru enough.
However. I dont recall the general, he lost his son in Afghanistan. He said pretty much the same thing. Those support ribbons on the back of pickups pissed him off.
There was a veterans care bill in congress at the time. He said, " if you support vets, call your congressman & demand it pass"
Mitch McConnell killed the bill. Never even got a vote.
Just as he did for obamas immigration reform, and repugnants did in the house this year.
Bumper stickers & words dont solve our problems.
But it makes ppl feel better to pop that ribbon on the tail gate. Mastercard milking cancer for profits pisses me off too.
Words = taking sides, which as we know solves nuthin ... Write your congressman!
Sometimes that works. Bumper stickers never do.
Jeff hoover, my best friend in jr high -HS. His dad was Vietnam infantry. Doussed with agent orange more than a few times. At 40 he was dam near a paraplegic. Never saw 1 penny from vet admin. His wife died young too, worked 2 full time jobs to pay for his medical care. VA care did nothing for him bc- admitting agent orange poisoning was a thing meant admitting liability.
Ty for your service. Doesnt it mean taking care of them that came back screwed for life?
I think it does.
I'll never forget Chuck Hoover back home after his 3rd stroke at age 38? 39?. I saw pictures of chuck when he was young. Tall & muscular.
At 38 he looked like a tiny old man that survived Aushwitz. He was dead about 6 years later. Organ failure. Most of his blood vessels atrophied.
Stand up for cancer. What portion of profits do these banks give to cancer research? Less than 1 penny on the dollar.
The argument is, its better than nothing.
No- no its not. Make them pay their fking taxes bc Government grants are the lions share of funding.
Pr hogwash bs so everybody sleeps happy at night.
I'll get off my stank opinion soap box now.
Hopefully anyone offended forgives me, eventually.
