    This is a blatant double cross since obama and many leaders of the Senate promised veterans health care and Retiree Tri-Care would not be impacted or affected.

    NOW we see the truth.

    I do not know where the outrage is. It’s certainly not coming from the veterans organizations.

    This ought to go far and wide to every veteran in this country. The majority will I believe raise hell and do their part to vote out these lying scheming politicians. Politicians who profess so much support for veterans and our votes and issues to get elected.

    The next incumbent politician who espouse their support for veterans and military retiree’s will be called a liar to their face by this veteran.
    I have been trying to inform people that for decades the Progressive Liberals have had their eye on taking over the VA health care system. They feel they deserve the same treatment. This is what I see as step one in that effort. If we do not step up and force the issue we will eventually have to wait in line behind some progressive liberal who has done nothing for this country except take from it.

    Granted the Republicans are not much better, but at least in the Senate they tried to fight this and failed in their effort.

    We veterans are nothing more than votes bought with false promises. My two senators in this state one who sits on the Veterans Committee are far more concerned with the right and benefits of Illegal Aliens than they are for veterans. Yes they are both huge supporters of Social Security for Illegal Aliens. At a time when SS can barely meet its commitment to its own citizens. They do just enough to keep most veterans quiet.

    For the Progressive Veterans out there, I hope they are proud of what they have done for their Brothers and Sisters.

    This is an outrage and you can bet there is more to come. Many will sit still for this and many will not. I hope come election time all this garbage is remembered and we vote them all out.

    Chuck has raised some excellent points! Where is the outrage from our fellow veterans? Promises are made and broken on a regular basis. And since this administration has been elected to office it has been an onslaught against veterans!

    Just hype? Read for yourself with documented reports:
