I don't often talk about this, but I have a service-connected disability, albeit a slight one, and am a Life Member of the Disabled American Veterans.
The current administration has decided to make veterans with service-connected injuries pay for their own care by virtue of private insurance.
Put aside, for the moment, that Mr. Obama would have to ask military men and women - who enlisted knowing that the Dept. of Veterans' Affairs would see to any service-related injuries - to respond to his orders without that safety net.
Rather, consider this: on every insurance policy I've had since leaving active duty, it specifically excludes coverage for injuries resulting from any act of war.
This beggars the imagination and goes beyond mere betrayal; indeed, it borders on absolute stupidity. You can read more about it here.

Everything that Obama said he was going to do - he is doing. I guess all those people who voted for him were not paying attention. It seemed to me that all they were concerned about was that he is black - not that he was NOT qualified to run the US. Don't even get me started!

Hi, Rachel! Thanks for checking out my little corner of the 'net. I'm grateful for every reader (and your hunting blog ain't too shabby, either).

What The One has done--or at least proposed-- during the first three months of his tenure boggles the mind. But this...this is simply stupid on so many, many levels.
I'm afraid to read it, but I must. Thanks for keeping us up to date on things. I'm gonna email you something.
Cassie,
