Why have our Military Veterans become the most despised, neglected and abused "minority group" in the United States of America?

American Politicians; Political Cowards!

Fellow Veterans and Friends of Veterans: America's politicians are proving to be the biggest cowards in the world.
The next time they want to declare war, let them and their families fight it themselves. A few years ago, the so-called U.S. Government sold 4,682 acres of the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station in Orange County, CA to developers, yet they could not find it within their "grateful hearts" to set aside a paltry 100 acres of that land to bury America's Military Veterans who have defended our Nation's freedom and safety. Even while our government notoriously neglects and abuses countless Veterans at the VA hospitals and waits for them to either die or commit suicide, there's no available American soil in Orange County, CA, to bury them with Military dignity and honor.

"Veterans cemetery near proposed Irvine school site could be a 'deal-breaker' - OC Register "Petty and Spiteful" - Irvine Matters Lest we've forgotten, in 2003 then-Secretary of State Colin Powell was asked whether the U.S. plans for a war in Iraq were perhaps for "American empire building," and the retired Army General answered: "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return." And for those who have returned to the United States, ungrateful and cowardice politicians in Orange County are more interested in aiding and abetting in "corporate empire building" for the fat-cat developers than in providing a relatively small parcel of land to bury the men and women who served our Country with honor, and on behalf of all others. Less than 8% of our Nation's population are Veterans. And without their selfless service, there would be no America, no prosperity that the fat-cats enjoy and take for granted at the expense of these brave and courageous men and women. Why have our Military Veterans become the most despised, neglected and abused "minority group" in the United States of America? In Tuesday's Orange County Register, an article titled "Irvine Considers Veterans Cemetery," it reported: "County Supervisors John Moorlach and Shawn Nelson, meanwhile, doubt whether it's realistic to expect the state or federal governments to put up the needed cash for such a cemetery in Orange County." Huh? Think about it! Our U.S. Government can "put up the cash" (trillions) to fight wars but it refuses to donate a small parcel of land to honor and pay respect to those who fought these wars and bury them on U.S. soil with the dignity and honor they deserve. Instead, they wage war over 160,000 acres of land to protect desert tortoises. If Orange County Supervisors Moorlach and Nelson do not have the courage to stand up on behalf of America's Veterans and "DEMAND" that our state and federal government provide "such a cemetery," then it is "realistic" that they need to be recalled, as should any and all elected public servants who put Veterans last on their agenda, and for some, Veterans aren't even on their agenda. It's bad enough that corrupted politicians and VA bureaucrats have aided and abetted in the giving away of more than 100 of the 388 acres of Veterans land for non-Veteran use at the Los Angeles National Veterans Home, but when Orange County politicians refuse to assist in getting 100 of the 4,682 acres at the former El Toro Marine Base for a Veterans Cemetery, this simply underscores that political cowardice, greed and corruption are spreading and it's become an epidemic. May God have mercy on our great Nation, but not on our political cowards. God Bless America and the Veterans Revolution! “War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is. Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.” (Unknown) Join the Veterans Revolution -- whether you are a Veteran or a Citizen Soldier, and fight the cowardly politicians and corrupted government bureaucrats. Show up every Sunday, 1:00 - 4:00 PM, on Veterans Freedom Plaza outside the VA's locked front gates at the Northeast corner of Wilshire and San Vicente Boulevards, west of the 405 Freeway, adjacent to the community of Brentwood.
