I come from a military family and I hate it when I see arrogant chickenhawk politicians and contractors (like Bush, Cheney and their pals) getting rich while benefits for serving personnel and veterans are eroded.

from the DAV website:
House Budget Resolution Will Slash $9.7 Billion from Veterans Medical Care and $15 Billion from Disability Compensation and Other Benefit Programs
By a vote along party lines, the majority members of the House Budget Committee passed and reported for a vote by the House a budget resolution that would cut $844 million from veterans? medical care next year and $9.7 billion over the next 10 years. In addition, the budget resolution would cut $15 billion from the disability compensation and other benefit programs over the next 10 years. The House leadership are pushing these cuts to offset the cost of the President?s $1.57 trillion tax reduction plan.
The
Disabled American Veterans page I posted above has links to send an email or letter, if you want do something that will actually help the people in uniform.
