Yet another Brother murdered by the VA.

Sad, very sad. What is it going to take for things to change? I wish I had the answer. I just see another generation of young men and women with the scars of war that won't get fixed.

f*ck, but this is getting old and harder to take in!!!

Not sure if anyone knows this, but approximately 170,000 plus Vietnam Vets have committed Suicide since leaving Vietnam........How many names are on the Wall??? About half of the total Suicides. I am sorry to say, I have been dealing with this for 44 years. I left Vietnam in Oct 1969, I was 19 years old and..................................

When will it ever stop???

How will it stop? Civilians have all but forgotten about the wars. We're all just angry veterans looking for compensation to them. It's f*cking disgusting. Every new war a generation of vet gets forgotten.

As a whole we are all too divided. Not enough places like this helping. We have it at our fingertips to help. We have methods former generations didn't have. Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and sites like this. But sadly everyone is either out for themself, untrusting or...I just don't know.

I had lost my original train of thought. Very upset I guess. What I'm trying to say. It needs to be a concentrated effort. What is it? Pride maybe? I'd love to help. I have web developement experience. A lot. One of the few things in my life I was actually successful and made a part time career from it. I offered myself up. It's the best I can do.

I simply don't have it in me to create my own gig alone anymore. It's exhausting.

Not beating my own drum. It just pisses me off to see people dropping the ball. Anthony has done us a great justice. He gets it. But he has a vested interest as a vet. Maybe one day I'll get motivated again. Shit...rambling.

Grizz, I had started to answer your other post, but this one came in so I'll do it here. I have made the decision to hook up with the Warfighter Rights Movement and help as best as I can. Like you said we need a concentrated effort and I am hoping this could be it.......Only time will tell, but it's better than doing nothing and so far I like what I see, so I'm in......It's possible that it could grow to well over 25 million people and I would call that a concentrated effort.....:)

I like what I have seen with that too. I am looking for a contact for it. Just not sure how serious they are though. Seems a lot of these movements hit hard but then lose steam. If you have a contact J R, P.M. It to me if you wouldn't mind.

Your right, it's better than doing nothing. I can't offer a lot but I could offer something. You know? The shits gotta stop. Plain and simple.
