RichieHubbard's blog: "PLEASE READ AND COMMENT"

FIRST OFF I WANNA LET EVERYONE KNOW THIS IS FROM MY VFW POST COMMANDER. I SERVED 4 YRS IN THE ARMY TO BE TOLD I AM A SECOND RATE CITIZEN. I SAY FUCK THAT BULLSHIT!!!VFW's are closing around the country, why? Because the powers that be have decided that veteran services are not that important to the common good. The VFW is a place where vets can go to be around other vets and help each other. One of the greatest things that the VFW does is to have a liaison to the VA to help with the paperwork needed to cut through the red tape. This is how I got my disability. A vet helped me and I have helped other vets. But now they are closing all around the country. "Budget cuts" are the culprit, and do you know where those funds come from? The same budget that gives to schools and to prisons. They are giving more to inmates and taking away from vets! I say fuck that! After someone goes off to fight for their country the US should bend over backward to make sure they have everything the vet needs to be happy and healthy. To a vet this is a slap in the face! Why should someone that lives in prison have more rights than me? Why the fuck should they have cable TV? Why is it that there are more programs to help inmates find work after they get out than a VETS? I mean c’mon I have been disabled for 6 years now, what the fuck am I supposed to do now? if they ever took away my disability I could never find a job.... because I have been disabled  for so long and I have mental illnesses, I won’t be considered for the jobs I would need to get to compete with the money I get now. But! look at your average prisoner... when they get out after murdering someone the govt. actually pays their employer money to ensure that they are hired... WTF? And they receive FREE college classes while inside. Is this fucked up to anyone else? I mean c’mon there hasn’t been a draft since Vietnam... all of us who take this oath to serve and protect the US from all enemies foreign and domestic....we are the ones that pay the ultimate price for your freedom... and we get pissed on. You know what I think? You want budget cuts? I got some for you... leave those fuckers locked up! With no cable... no television....no air conditioning....and for those on death row, if you are going to kill them why wait? And why do they have to receive lethal injection? A 9mm round costs .25 fuckin shoot them in the head.... it’s painless and cost effective! But you know what? It doesn’t matter how mad I get or how mad you get it’s just a fact of life that all who serve are disposable.
