What does "the left" have to do with this? I guess the fact that the Bush Admin has slashed veterans benefits doesn't enter into this intelligent conversation? Clearly, what should be done is to restore and increase those benefits. The Government needs to care for these people, but when you have a government run by people who DETEST GOVERNMENT SERVICES and are day by day fighting to reduce government services, what do you expect? Lets remember the facts. The Bush Admin has cut veterans benefits, extended tours of duty, and taken steps to make it harder for vets to get health care. The "left" has nothing to do with, aside from the fact that we have been fighting to get vets better benefits for years

How should America care for it's veterans?
Welcome them home with more open arms and less spew from the left.
They don't ask for much but a little thing called "respect".
Just because they choose to serve our country doesn't make them bad people. In fact, it makes them heros.
