AP FRESNO, Calif. - Forced to leave the combat zone after his two brothers died in the Iraq war, Army Spc. Jason Hubbard faced another battle once he returned home: The military cut off his family's health care, stopped his G.I. educational subsidies and wanted him to repay his sign-up bonus...
My blood pressure is up once again courtesy of the Bush administration. What possible reason can be credibly made to explain the military cutting off benefits to Jason Hubbard? Is there anyone with a brain administering these programs? As a citizen of the United States I am officially outraged and sickened that my country is treating men and women who have been sent to war IN MY NAME this way. Doesn't anyone administering these programs have critical thinking skills? How did the person who sent that letter to Jason Hubbard feel? Oh, I know, it was just his/her job, they were following orders, blah, blah, blah.
How many stories about the inadequate treatment of war veterans do we need before we, the general public, speak out? The Bush Administration gets away with everything from the subhuman conditions at Walter Reed to cutting off benefits from those who served and their families. Just a blip on the news radar screen. What a country.
