The Gazette ^ | November 12, 2013 | Tom Roeder

Colorado’s Democratic Sen. Mark Udall blasted a VA policy that doesn’t recognize some same-sex marriages in a Tuesday letter to the Obama administration.

“The issue came to light after two Colorado residents, one of whom served in the Air Force for 10 years and was deployed four times, were denied federal VA benefits due to the fact that the state of Colorado does not recognize their marriage,” Udall’s office wrote. “The couple lives in Colorado and got married in another state earlier this year.”

Interestingly, my recommendations to Mark have a same-sex nature to them.....

So you are saying Udall should engage in asexual reproduction? He is a f’n worm after all.

Other then college assistance and you are not wounded. What benefits do you get for only serving 10 years?

The way they talk about it you’d think that every single person in the Democrat party was gay!

I'm a fully disabled VET myself and for a disabled Vet to get any benefits for their spouse is almost impossible.

Something is fishy with this story. I think it's a set up!
