Dems Abandon Vets to Die in Poverty

Dems Abandon Vets to Die in Poverty

Well, it seems some prominent Democrats have decided to shaft the Veterans of the Vietnam War.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a speech in Vietnam yesterday that pointed toward the US government providing monetary relief to the Vietnamese government to aid the generations of Vietnamese who have been and still are being poisoned by the dioxin the US so prodigiously sprayed and dumped all over the countryside, the inland waterways and the coastal waters of then South Vietnam.

So, here we are with a bunch of Veterans of the Vietnam War, those who served in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia, those that flew the missions, both combat and support, in and out of South Vietnam and Thailand, and those who served in Navy, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine ships off the coast of Vietnam, and Veterans who served on land in Vietnam, and now are suffering from certain types of Leukemia, Parkinson' Disease and ischemic Heart Disease. All of those Veterans are forced to go begging while the Government, from the White House to Congress, turns a deaf ear to the real numbers, the real costs, and the real death rates of these men and women who went to war for their country.
