Wounded Vietnam Vet Word Processor (Rant)

Vietnam Rants inside therapy venting Free Speech, Wounded Vet Microsoft Word processor coffin box, Words that must be censored canvas - hidden away crashes, Soldiers who character nails the flag upon concrete accountability. That Blackwater need not to happened in spraying bullets, Where Corporate Civilian mercenaries get paid so much more. Bush Rambo’s Bush cowboys, while at home walking wounded Cry from the Iraq/Vietnam neglect of Political wars for profit. Mission Accomplished “Truth” of fabricating Bush war “Lies” in Creative Accounting of No Bid Halliburton bad water tastes. Get rich Republic carpetbaggers filling up body bags billions, Like sand bags protecting a Corporate religion in Katrina profit. Oh, napkin of tear trails pen marks being marched off in a Patriot Act, Why must America’s words mirror those hidden returning coffins? Congress of “Homework” Made in the USA pure political neglect Golden Idols of Political Country Club high fashion statements. Fourth of July of Cheney gas won by our soldiers soul’s graves, Men and women of Washington’s boys and girls laws. Where Vietnam soldiers had more rights as adults to speak out. Today they rotate in and out of Bush Intelligence cycles. Oh wail, Windows of crashing American poetic dreams System of black screams of death covered over cries. Vietnam Vet Memorial of walking wounded crashing down Like flooding Katrina response in Washington compassion. Oh cry yeah, oh cry yeah in patriot acts of pure emotions But one must reside in blank Free Verse in legacy homes Of a War President redefining American Freedom dwellings And the Democracy of a ruling class and a silent working caste. Chevron Cheney’s Mission Accomplished Fourth of July Screwing the masses in inflated price of Bush survival celebrations. Where one must now be outsourced upon slave quarters dwellings Upon chilled air of the American dream, Made in America gone sour. WORD of breakdown torn tears, where printer spooler fail to work Backups are filtered Patriot Act gloomy White House reality cut offs. Where “We the people” are employees of this CEO War President. Who “At Will” uses Executive Privilege of decrees of eminent domain. Bush’s Philadelphia Fourth of July parade that segregates in Having Conservative tickets or a Liberal patriot ban of acceptance. Don’t hire Liberal policy, Guantanamo Conservative Justice Re-segregating America, yet in another travesty of in-equality. America’s Bush redefined Declaration of Independence Incorporated, CEO worldwide Conglomeration of selling off America to the highest bidder. Profit of worldwide manipulation of starving the masses for profit Using grain to feed Big Oil starving coffers of CEO luxury benefits. Tis time for a Bush/Cheney/Microsoft Mission Accomplished cut off affair Where one saves every other WORD, for backups normally fail their duty Much like politicians have failed their “We the people” patriot stockholder. What is this bush disease that wipes off public WORD processed dissent? For safety concern, I learned from being “Terminated for Poetry” Free Speech That this Bush fiction of his treason to silence all American Free Verse That resides in the Hearts of Vietnam ranting nightmare reincarnations of Vietnam haunting Bush Blunders of Civil War quagmire infrastructures. Where American Main Street ghosts mirrors those in Iraqi tears saying, “What kind of hell is this Bush Freedom and Democracy of Abu Graith pictures? Note: How do you know if a person is a true patriotic Liberal? Well, they sure don’t have a Bush job, and believe the public has the right to know the Bush “Truths” turned “Lies.” Well, there went Microsoft Windows spooler for printing Ben Franklin Freedom in press-ing minds. David L. Young 07/04/08© De-Terminated poet, somewhere in America not on company time (Vietnam Rants, I learned from coming back from Vietnam where you have to release the demon inside therapy on napkins in order breathe in hope. Some may not understand it, others will find it venting into their own words. The thing is it is time for Iraqi Veterans to rant upon napkins that they depose of or store as nightmares vented, and not commit suicide. They may be the walking wounded of living suicide that still has a piece of America and what it promised Veterans, help. But then Washington also made Katrina promises. Seems the "We the people" were denied by the Bush Corporations that he supported in grand style.)

VA overhaul needed

Editor: A coalition of U.S. military veterans that served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is suing the U.S. government. The class-action lawsuit on behalf of hundreds of thousands of veterans claims they have been denied disability pay and mental health treatment. Repeated and extended deployments to war zones have driven a rise in post-traumatic stress among troops. It may be good to support your troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it is much better to demand accountability from those responsible for the lack of their care. The legal case against the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) seeks widespread changes in the agency. The VA has difficulty in the preparation, processing and analysis of veterans information to support the effective and efficient preparation of the VA's hundreds of thousands of veterans claims. Because of this, the DVA has deliberately cheated some traumatized war veterans out of benefits owed to them. The case was filed in a federal court in San Francisco, much like the case filed in federal court for Agent Orange in 1979. Suing on behalf of hundreds of thousands of veterans, the coalition claims they have been let down on several fronts. These include the provision of prompt disability benefits and additional staff to reduce waiting times for medical care and services to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. The coalition says the DVA worked with the Pentagon to misclassify post-traumatic stress disorder claims as pre-existing personality disorders. The cost to veterans, their families and the nation will be incalculable, it says, unless systematic and drastic measures are instituted immediately. There has been no reaction to the legal action from the Department of Veterans Affairs, because the Department of Veterans Affairs really could care less about the concerns or the plight of these veterans. They will ask that more studies be done. The human research VA foundations and VA enterprise centers see the veterans as cash cows for financial grants, etc. Senator Bruno, tell the American public who your biggest supporters are. Could it be Central Research Corp. located in the Syracuse VA? I've asked for a meeting to talk to James Cody for the last two years so we could start some programs to address these problems, to this day we haven't met. I think it's long over due that Mr. Cody tendered his resignation and joined VA Secretary Jim Nicholson for the good of our veterans. Dennis Thorp, Frankfort The Evening Times, September 4, 2007

Christian evangelism has always been my worst nightmare. these types of Christians are the mirror image of the fundamentalist Jihadists. They don't seem to recognize that fact which makes me think they've all received lobotomies.

The WIA's and their families will suffer for decades to come. Like Vietnam vets who suffer from Agent Orange the OIF vets may become ill in the future from factors that are unknown today. If the AO vets are any example the VA and the US government will be very slow to address these kinds of hidden injuries. I can tell you from personal experience the wounds from service are passed down the generations.

Thank you so much for posting this and for keeping this.

I am the daughter of a twenty year Air Force veteran, the granddaughter of two 20+year AF veterans, the sister of an active duty Airman and a Navy veteran and am appalled at the lack of attention our wounded soldiers are receiving. I have recently begun studies into the number of veterans who have been injured and who are still receiving inadequate care. Please keep posting this information. Thank you.
