A classic example of something that will bug me till the day I die. My grandfather served this country, on the mainland and over seas. He put in his time. He then went on and worked his whole adult life and retired at the ripe young age of his early 80's. When he retired, he recieved just a shy over $1,000 a month from Social Security, thats it. Granted, he did not work for the same company all his life, but............................................... .....
There has to be a better way to treat those who serve. His funeral was special as 2 men from Fort Knox gave us (family) and him a special memorial with the flag folded, etc.. But financially, that was a slap in the face in my opinion. Not too mention thru all his medical problem late in life, the VA was not a big help.

I post this in respectful silence.
May they rest in peace. May their sacrifices not have been made in vain, nor their lives "wasted". Rest in peace. http://www.commondreams.org/views07/0305-24.htm

wasn't it GW who said, "I loathe the military"? Or was it someone else? The republicans should have followed Albright's move and given Sadam a signed Michael Jordan basketball. That worked in N Korea for her, didn't it?

I really don't know. For me, I don't loathe the military. They're only taking orders and doing their best. So, in that regard, they deserve our best in return.
