Indignities Endured by U.S. Military Veterans

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS

"I believe that our laws must reflect our gratitude to the men and women
who so valiantly served our nation in battle. But to many veterans, it
seems like they are remembered in Washington only on Veterans Day.
Speeches are all well and good, but daily advocacy is needed too in such
issues as health care and compensation claims."

Prior to the 2000 presidential election, President Bush outlined his
views on issues affecting veterans. Some of his comments, like the one
above from a campaign position paper, have been archived by Disabled
American Veterans Magazine.

Today it's clear to many veterans that the Bush administration and
Republicans in Congress think of them on other days of the year besides
Veterans Day. They're thinking of veterans as they work to cut off VA
healthcare. They're thinking of veterans when they refuse to address
lingering health problems from the first Gulf War. They're thinking of
veterans when they block full retirement and disability benefits. And
they're thinking of veterans when Bush decides, yet again, not to attend
a solider's funeral or pay a visit to those who are recovering from
injuries at Walter Reed Army Medical Center just a few miles from the
White House.

All that thinking has only hurt veterans of this country. Obviously,
they deserve much better. And they deserve our full support.

BuzzFlash is committed to revealing the numerous ways in which Bush has
gone back on his pledge to be an advocate for veterans. Excerpts from
news stories, editorials and speeches detailing Bush's and Congress'
actions are provided here. New articles will be added periodically.

veterans to: BuzzFlash@BuzzFlash.com
