Support the troops support the first responders

I was thinking about the plight of the 911 first responders when Rudy and Whitman declared ground zero "safe" and those that helped with the Gulf oil "spill". Ground zero asbestos poisoning and Gulf corexit poisoning. Anyway I was reading about the navy men poisoned from Fukisima and the troops poisoned from Iraq burn pits. I felt bad knowing that people that work our government don't give a shit, so I drank a beer counted my blessings placed a yellow ribbon on the locusts tree in front of my house and carried on with my life.

Dont forget that in the middle of the worst of the occupation of Iraq that congress and the white house tried to cut V.A. benefits to survivors, families, and vets.

I will say though that visiting the city for the first time in the early sixties, I had never experienced such intense pollution. It seared my eyeballs. But at the time I didn't care too much because it was like being on another planet.

As usual, there is a clear difference, you can look at voting records and see, it is clearly a partisan issue when the GOP, alone, refuses to pass any veteran's bills.
Did Republicans block every veteran's bill or not?
Hickman’s Burn Pits exposes a link between military service near burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan and serious maladies, including everything from respiratory illnesses to rare brain cancers. Indeed, Hickman says, Vice President Joe Biden’s son Beau died of one of these rare brain cancers after serving in Iraq.
The Pentagon’s ban comes despite the fact that the book is an Amazon bestseller and has been reviewed favorably in media around the world. So it seems like a sure bet that the brass doesn’t intend to change its policy of exposing our soldiers to these deadly toxins. By officially sticking their heads in the sand, they’re hoping the problem will go away.
obama had a fillubuster proof majority for only 72 days. not 2 years like your media tells you.

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
let's talk about republican opposition and fillibusters, shall we?
what president has faced more fillibusters than obama?
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
I first typed 700 million not BILLION.
truth be told, this is never about helping the first responders. it was about playing politics and saying we can't afford it. again who opposed this bill? what side of the aisle?
jon stewart is more responsible for getting that first responder bill passed than anybody else.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
My friend is still fighting with the VA for his benefits. Ten years on, he's got migraines so bad he gets nosebleeds. They gave him new glasses. "Here these should fix your headaches". Fucking. Come on.
The first responders amaze me though. I know a handful of guys that work for EMS & they were floating these memes on social media about the fast food workers fighting for $15, cuz they think flipping burgers deserves more than saving lives or some shit. It upset me beyond reason. Same with the OIF guys i know with the "free education" memes. Makes me wanna smash my fucking head into a wall that some of the most admiral people i know think it's best to assist those with more than us in keeping down those with less than us rather than joining together and making things better for everyone.
