Dear John E. Hamilton, Adjutant General for Veterans 12/19/2014
I received your mailing with same Christmas cards, thank you very much. I now feel obligated to send you a small donation to cover your mailing costs and the cost of cards because you tell me in your letter that your organization, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States helps support the wounded veterans.
Your letter states how your organization helps veterans after they come home, this is truly commendable. You further state that there are about 300,000 Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans that have Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). You further state that there are even more young veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). So…you ask for donations from the general public to help all these disturbed sick war veterans.
As an American citizen it amazes me that there is a need for soliciting donations to help our war veterans. Where in God’s name is our government that sent these young people to fight needless, useless wars and now has not stepped up to take care of these damaged warriors.
The Iraq war we got lied into by the neo-con warmongering maggots that cost us 5000 dead, 50,000 wounded and FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS seems not to have set aside any funds for the damaged warriors with TBI and PTSD. The same goes for the insane debacle in Afghanistan which cost us over 2000 dead and 20,000 wounded and TWO BILLION DOLLARS PER WEEK FOR TWELVE YEARS.
So…how is it the responsibility of the public to help the wounded warriors after our government has created this problem.
Why don’t you John E. Hamilton, instead of begging for donations demand a Senate hearing to discover how these two needless wars were sold to the American people. Let us find out who the liars were, who the war profiteers were and make them pay for damaging so many young warriors. You should also come up with an answer as to what can be a greater travesty than to lie a superpower, like America, to go to two wars for nothing, lose lives, shed blood, squander trillions of dollars, and achieve no results. Why don’t you question the two needless wars?
You should also work to stop the problem of the looming ISIS war. You do not have to be a genius to see that the American people rejected the idea of attacking Syria and Iran as the warmongering maggots tried to get America to fight. So…the maggots regrouped, reorganized, and presented the ISIS danger that they themselves created. So…America is on the road again to fight another needless war for the rich Arab States and Israel.
The only question I have for you dear Adjutant General Hamilton is when will America wake up?
