Why Do We Treat Our Vets Like This?

Obama would rather make sure the poor are eating NY Strip Steaks than take care of our vets. Currently 1/4 homeless person is a vet, and yet you never hear Obama mention them outside the campaign trail.

I just wrote my granddaughter who signified intent to join the US Air Force after community college to stand down until she gets countrymen who know how to treat those who serve right and proper, and until those who serve have a true Commander-in-Chief who will have their backs.
