Are you surprised though? Look at the things many of us have to fight for when it should be as easy as pushing a button.

SSG (Join to see) - shit no brother. After serving as an MAO for a few years and my FM background I am firmly entrenched in the idea that they make it hard so we die in the meantime. My mother's late husband was an Agent Orange guy- had three different rare cancers- all defined in the VA books as caused by AO. But each time it was denied because he didn't have this or that. He finally passed about 5 years ago with three or four types of cancer riddling his body. Yet the VA presses on and gets bonuses, the govt spends pork money on the gnat reproduction cycle during full moons, and we sit in meetings about sexual harassment that the O in charge of the program is guilty of.... long rant sorry. I should have left it at Preach brother....

The government is great at making promises. Not so good at keeping them. Veterans and Native Americans know this all too well...
Interesting to note the role played in this sad tale by two military 'legends'.
