" .... Veterans diagnosed with PTSD can be eligible for disability
compensation of up to $2,527 a month ...."
"It is outrageous that the VA is calling on its employees to deliberately
misdiagnose returning veterans in an effort to cut costs. Those who have risked
their lives serving our country deserve far better."
"A Rand Corp. report released in April found that repeated exposure to combat
stress in Iraq and Afghanistan is causing a disproportionately high
psychological toll compared with physical injuries. About 300,000 U.S. military
personnel who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan are suffering from PTSD or
major depression, the study found."

Not enough are being nice & just dying anymore. Probably closet dems.

That's a perfect example of "Compassionate Conservative." If a
Conservative ignores a problem, it doesn't really exist; conversely, if
a Conservative claims a problem exists, it, by definition, does.

How dumb do you have to be to be a Conservative these days?
