How can this possibly be happening, especially now when we have an all volunteer force?? And I've also seen the charities that have been started to help vets - especially those with disabilities or PTSD! Why are these necessary when they acquired these disabilities in service to this country?? Something really does need to be done to address this shameful situation. These brave souls gave everything and we owe them the best we have!
