The true cost of war — that’s what this week is about for me. That’s why I am here,” says Steve Acheson, a former Army forward observer and Iraq War veteran. Acheson, now an engineer and a farmer, speaks with a genuine honesty, indicative of his Midwestern roots. The Wisconsin native enlisted in the Army out of high school to go fight a war he truly believed in. And he’s still fighting. But this time on Capitol Hill for the warfighters no one talks about with fellow veterans, Kristofer Goldsmith, Thomas Burke, Alexander McCoy, and David Anderson.

It's in very poor taste to ask our warriors to sacrifice while reducing their salaries, numbers, and benefits. It is a slap in the face as we know loyalty should be a two way street.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL I understand what he is trying to do to push forward a bill that will help veterans with less than honorable discharges have another avenue to have this repealed. The bill, Fairness for Veterans will reform the review board process to help those who's discharge is due to mental health disorders, PTSD, military sexual assault and traumatic brain injury. A bill such as this, may be abused if it is passed in it's current form.
