With the mounting furor over military cremation policies threatening to rip through the Nation’s Capitol, and our returning Gulf War Veterans having to get down on their hands and knees to beg for better educational benefits, and even quality medical care in some cases, many of the over 300,000,000 citizens of “Our Great Country” are getting more than a bit antsy and perturbed!
“So what is the holdup in Dodge?” Why are our (?) lawmakers dragging their feet when it comes to a little payback for those who are bleeding in our defense? Why have “ONLY” 293 in the House, and but 57 in the Senate, co-sponsored the legislation to expand upon the existing 60 year old (plus) G.I. Bill thus far? “Do things really move that slowly upon Capitol Hill?” Or could it be that our Lawmakers just don’t care? Or is it possible that those whom we elect to public office are just too busy polishing their own apples to be bothered with helping those veterans, without whom, they would not have a cushy job and the good life? “Most of all, why do “We The People” - the fathers, the mothers, the sisters and the brothers, as well as the comrades of those now serving out there in “Harm’s Way”, continue to tolerate and elect the people in government who have the power, but not the will, to honor their contract and mandate with our military and our people?
