Why are our war heroes and vets treated so poorly? Even government officials disrespect them.

They disrespect us because they dont know what we've been through! Most of them were born with a silver spoon in their mouth and will NEVER serve in the military! But I bet if they walked a mile or take a PT testbin our shoes..they will see differently! Most of them would tap out after a field problem!

It seems to me that 99% of elected officials give lip service to Veterans, and wouldn't dream of disrespecting Veterans by word. Deeds are another matter though, our political system favors those who can buy influence. Congress has no problem passing tax cuts for trust fund babies, even while they reduce funding for the VA. The answer is to get money out of politics, until that happens most politicians will remain deaf to the needs of veterans.

Envy and jealousy...
