American Legion commander ‘deeply disappointed, concerned’ after meeting with Obama...
Plan to Charge Wounded Heroes for Treatment...
The American Legion Strongly Opposed to President’s Plan to Charge Wounded Heroes for Treatment
The leader of the nation’s largest veterans organization says he is “deeply disappointed and concerned” after a meeting with President Obama today to discuss a proposal to force private insurance companies to pay for the treatment of military veterans who have suffered service-connected disabilities and injuries. The Obama administration recently revealed a plan to require private insurance carriers to reimburse the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in such cases.
“It became apparent during our discussion today that the President intends to move forward with this unreasonable plan,” said Commander David K. Rehbein of The American Legion. “He says he is looking to generate $540-million by this method, but refused to hear arguments about the moral and government-avowed obligations that would be compromised by it.”
The Commander, clearly angered as he emerged from the session said, “This reimbursement plan would be inconsistent with the mandate ‘ to care for him who shall have borne the battle’ given that the United States government sent members of the armed forces into harm’s way, and not private insurance companies.
I say again that The American Legion does not and will not support any plan that seeks to bill a veteran for treatment of a service connected disability at the very agency that was created to treat the unique need of America’s veterans!”
History will show that Dubya and Laura restored the dignity to the White House that was previously torched by their impeached and disbarred predecessor and his silverware-stealing, and alleged wife.
On inauguration day in 2009, that dignity, as well as the respect for the presidency (and the Constitution) and our very way of life was smashed by a facile liar and his wife, neither of whom have a mere notion of common courtesy, or who care a whit about our fine customs, or who have a dash of pride in this Country; and, both of whom have frighteningly exaggerated sense of "self".
.
The unbridled arrogance of these people is getting more infuriating by the day.
I'm with you, STARWISE!
BTW, the pics I posted were sent to me by "my guys" and they granted permission to use them when and if I deemed it helpful. The stories they told about their visits were amazing.
That the things now residing in the "people's house" disgusts me and their trashing President and Mrs. Bush, especially using our troops makes it 1000 times worse!
They have absolutely no respect for the finest military
that the world has ever known! The men and women who have
helped other peoples around the world are being ground
under the heels of these disgusting no-accounts!
And...Osama...kiss my GRITS if you read this!
I have never seen a President and First Lady who were so good with and toward the troops. They had a special relationship and it is obvious. It has on many occasions brought tears to my eyes.
You forget she sat in the pews of Jeremiah Wright’s church for twenty years. He hated this country and it’s military and preached it, and she believes it. No different than the Taliban. Preach hate, Teach hate, Live hate. They know no other way.
~~INFURIATING ...$%^$#%^....... PING!
Beautiful post, STARWISE. Thank you!
You’re welcome ......... (my jaw is still clenched, steam coming off the keyboard ......... ;)
Could not agree with you more...on all points!!!
Maybe ... it would be worth considering writing a book about those accounts ............ ;)
Did the First B*tch tell the families that the First Raghead is going to make the vets and their families pay for private insurance to cover combat-related injuries?
Is that you in those pics and standing beside Cheney?
stolen - I’ve been looking for a good tagline. This is great.
I wonder ... is Bill Ayers available to ghost write? ;*)
Colmes: Did Murtha say that in the right way?
Obama: “You know, I don’t have the exact quotes in front of me. What I know is here is a guy who served our country. I would never second guess John Murtha... I think he’s somebody who knows of which he speaks.”
Remember, when you hear Obama agree with Murtha’s “cold blooded murder” accusations against US troops, that today this is the “moderate” voice of the Democratic Party.
Obama: “Jim, let me just make a point. I’ve got a bracelet, too. (Looks up, adjusts wrist, looks down at wrist)
From sergeant... uh.. (adjusts wrist) uh, from the mother of sergeant Ryan David Jopek (phonetic). Given to me in Green Bay.”
God, that was pathetic.
“I have a bracelet, too.”
I hoped he was sunk then.
Well said. Well said.
