NO VETERAN FUNDING CUTS
BY SGT. KEVIN BENDERMAN
Recently I've heard quite a few stories about funding cuts for the VA, and I thought to myself, "Why would an administration that claims to be so concerned about the welfare of our service members allow these cuts to be made?" And then I thought, "We should be ensuring that our veterans are given the same dedication to their long-term healthcare concerns as they
brought with them to their tour of duty."
This current war is generating so many people with new demands for healthcare, both mental and physical, that it is incomprehensible to me that the VA budget would be cut. Especially in light of the fact that there are still thousands of veterans from the Persian Gulf War, Viet Nam, Korea and World War II that require and depend on the VA for healthcare.
Why are these VA cuts considered even remotely acceptable? The people who have served and worn the uniform of this country proudly are deserving of so much more than this type of disgraceful treatment. No veteran of combat from any of these wars should ever have to go to bed wondering if they are going to get the treatment they need and have earned at so great a cost to themselves. It enrages me to hear our government reneging on their end of the agreement made with our service members who have kept up their end even as it cost them an arm or a leg.
