It is not about what political party a member Congress belongs to, it is about accountability for government to do what is right. The Blue Water Navy Agent Orange Act has failed. House Bill HR-543 was stalled in the VA committee even though there were 258 co-sponsors in support of the Bill enough for a House vote.
More Vietnam vets will die, many cannot pay medical expenses some are forced to take second mortgages on their homes or sell their homes. Does Congress care, most do not. However we vets do have a few caring friends in Congress, they are a minority.
There are those in Congress so full of greed to fill their own pockets for the next election rather than provide proper VA benefits to our veterans who come home sick and broken. This is especially true of the Vietnam War veterans. With the 2014 Congress in session will our Vietnam veterans be once more denied what they have earned? The dollars needed for VA benefits is a trifle amount compared to the hundreds of billions we give away. Perhaps our Congress should serve on the front lines in war let them know how it feels to dodge bullets and be sprayed with herbicides.
In time of war the enemy does not care about race, creed, or political party. Our Congress discriminates against those who served our Country, there is no accountability. To our Members of Congress, in ten more years there will be no Vietnam vets left living for you to contend with, what a shameful legacy
