caring for 16,000+ wounded (many severely) for life

My dad got 2 purple hearts, a few bronze and silver stars, a couple bullets in his torso and got agent orange herbacide problems all over - but they are not taking care of him - dont you believe that LIE for a second calculated - he has to PAY now and the quality is CRAP - they promised him free medical and dental if he went and fought for his country - he is getting what phil grandie calls - THE SHAFT and so will all these servicemen - mccarthur and patton ran over the BONUS army in washington with tanks. C-span just reaired a special on the BONUS army of ww1 - they got the SHAFT. Dad couldn't have a son that wasn't in the forces somehow - hehe - so I went and did a few months at the coast guard academy to appease his military lust for his children (and also thought maybe I would cruise the beaches as an officer and pick up some chicks - hehe) - I got tired of upperclassmen pricks telling me to drop and give them 50 rather fast - he hated me at the time - but now he says you cant trust the gubbment - so screw thier promises! My sisters both went into the army - but saw that dead end rather fast too and quit. My friend that is a budget analyst with the air force says its all madness - he gets 80K a year for nothing - its all just shuffling papers back and forth. They are trying to get lots of people at his base to take early retirement!
