I know this sounds like hypocrisy and perhaps it is. I suppose it can be justified by the fact that I am paying income taxes and receiving little in return.

I can also say that I personally would never have gone to the VA except for the insistance of my wife.

And finally, I don't think the government owes it vets a lifetime of benefits but if they are there, well........
