(62,325 posts)I am affiliated with the VA also through several family members. Very familiar with the VA on a very personal level. I will be equally careful about your comments, giving credit where it is due, and being forthright when I believe I someone is simply playing games. Always have been straighforward with people and always will be. I have found that sometimes I was wrong about someone's intentions and have always admitted that.
The info on the breakfasts was sent to ME by a Veteran. I have set his mind at ease as understandably he was very angry about the news. It's not as if the soldiers haven't been screwed before so I would prefer to err on THEIR side when there is any doubt until the facts are known.
Oh, please with the ignore threat. Go right ahead, I do not use that feature since I am more than capable of dealing with even the most abusive people here. Several years of taking on Bush supporters was a sort of 'boot camp' for me when it comes to the nastiness some people engage in on the internet. None of it bothers me, in the words of a great Democratic President 'I welcome their hatred'. Hatred, such a wasted emotion.
Sorry if standing up for the rights of the troops, for SS, for the Environment, for the Poor, for the Working Class, against lying, corrupt war mongers like Bush/Cheney, against Wall St Corruption FOR a living wage for the working class, against tax breaks for the wealthy who take jobs out of the country among other things is OUTRAGEOUS in your opinion. In my opinion NOT being outraged at this point in time is the real OUTRAGE.
