Default Bush's Continued Shameful Treatment of Wounded Veterans

I am beginning to think Bush should be impeached. How can he allow
such shameful medical treatment of brave men (and women, though they
don't belong there) wounded in battle? Is this how America thanks
those who gave the most? The Democrats should sieze the issue and run
with it. Forget about Gonzalez and Rove, they are just diversions. The
Democrats should really show they support the troops through immediate
action.

Please, everyone write letters to your Senators and Congressman. We
can't discard and abuse those who defend America.

I'm a Korean War veteran and let me tell you about the mistreatment of
veterans not only by the government but by civilians too. People today don't
have the respect for veterans like they used to in the old days. In the old
days everyone was a veteran, everyone knew what it was like. Today, few and
far between serve our country in the armed forces. I'm writing letters to my
representatives for them to pass a new law requiring civilians to salute all
veterans when outdoors. Veterans will be able to wear a badge or armband
that shows they served. Everyone stands for the National Anthem at sporting
events, say the pledge with their hand over their heart so why not just give
a veteran a salute? Children can be indoctrinated into this custom at an
early age in grade school. By high school it will be a natural reflex and
vets will get the recognition they so deserve.
