Maybe we should stop complaining about pay/benfit cuts and do something about it.

I get so angry when I think of how some politicians keep talking about and actively cutting Soldier and Veteran pay and benefits. We never hear of a shortage in federal dollars for wellfair and other handouts to people that have not earned anything, they only threaten Social Security and Soldier/Veteran pay and benefits.
Lets look at the problem from a different angle, maybe, just maybe the problem is not Washington DC but and how is there, maybe the problem is how is not there. US! We are not there; sure we have groups that lobby for us but that is not enough. We are not working for our own. Check out how many Veterans are now serving in congress.
Do you know a Veteran or are YOU the Veteran that would fight for what is good for your home state?

There is a place where We as Veterans can go to help change Our situation. Go to Petition2Congress.com. Go to the Bills that address our interest, and send your Congress Person a letter, either For the Bill or Against the Bill.

Very Interesting topic SFC (Join to see), I am not big on politics so I would have to do more research to answer on this with a more informed position.
