He was injured in Vietnam, but the VA initially said his disability was not service-connected. This is horrible. Hey Washington: Stop counting beans and start helping vets.

The unthinking idologues of this administration cannot leave soon enough. They not only took us into an unjust, unnecessary war, they allow their preconceived beliefs about government being inherently bad to affect their decisions and deny returning troops the medical care they need -- and tht we promised them.

It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that they didn't really care about the soldiers and their families after all. The toll of this ill-be-gotten blood-for-oil war in human suffering will be with these families the rest of their lives the taxpayers, and our great-grand children. What did they expect from a derelict alkie National Guard evader who couldn't even complete his safe duty in this country? Definition of treason: betrayal of trust or faith.. “Support our troops” was just more farce from the Bushites.

When will our government start acknowledging that these terrible illnesses really exist. Our prayers go out to Darren and all the others waiting without hope for a solution to their pain. May it come soon enough to help them! Sounds like another Vietnam - just a different illness. When will our government start acknowledging that these terrible illnesses really exist.

The behavior which resulted in an assault charge was a direct result of the untreated injury. The Army response was an attempt to get rid of the problem, by discharging the victim instead of treating the wounded warrior.
