For some reason, Senate decided to kill a bill to help veterans who were exposed toxic burn pits while in the military. This shit really grinds my gears. Is this how we treat our veterans who honorably served our country?

The measure was expected to be passed this week, but now faces an uncertain future.

Bout right.

I drank the water on camp lejuen as a little boy (father was there) and as a young man when I was stationed there. All way inside the parameters of years.

They’ve been talking about it for 20 years or so. I’ve filled out 3-5 questionnaires over the years and haven’t heard a word.

Or how about the spokesperson from the state department now saying “ the US does not support organized violent opposition to the Taliban”

Didn’t we just fight a 20 year war for this?

The federal government can Go practice falling down.
