Vets

vets
What about a government that allows vets to become homeless and does nothing?

I’ve read stories of vets coming home from Iraq and ending up on the street. This seems to be true for Vietnam vets and those in World War II. It seems the government would at least help these people get into some kind of low income housing or rehabilitation and schooling. Where is the government when a Vet needs help?

As one can see from the varied responses,
there are all levels of satisfaction with VA
services – depending on one’s own
experiences. Of course it is those who
have much difficulty in getting results that
we hear from more loudly and more often.
I would advise women whose husband’s
have high levels of disability, especially
Vietnam vets, to do everything you can to
be financially prepared for living on your
own. Be familiar with what DIC is and that
if you do not have additional income you
will be living at close to poverty level. Lucky
us who are old enough to have social security
as well! If you are retirees who bought the Survivor Benefit Plan and the veteran dies of 100% service connection…are you aware that it is offset by the widow’s DIC? That means that what the two of you planned on for the widow to have as income…well, it just doesn’t happen.
Have all of you Vietnam vets had body
scans in your agent orange screenings?
Please don’t tell me that you are a VV and
not had an agent orange exam because
I can tell you about women who
became widows very unexpectedly. If you
or anyone you know is a widow by
service-connected cause, please be aware
that Gold Star Wives of America is an
organization that can provide information,
resources, and support. Laws regarding
remarriage have changed in recent years;
many older widows do not know.
Are all of you veterans aware of the A & A
benefit and the Housebound benefit for
those who need assisted care, even at home?

War & Peace Vol. 1 (The War Disc) [EXPLICIT LYRICS]

$8.00

Nearly a decade into his career, Ice Cube remains at the forefront of gangsta rap–but when it comes to manipulating sounds, he sometimes seems one-dimensional, especially when compared with the likes of Snoop Doggy Dogg (who had a lot of help in that department from Cube’s old N.W.A. mate Dr. Dre) and sample master Sean “Puffy” Combs. But on War & Peace, Vol. 1, Cube’s first album in five years, …
