the war they believed when they came back they've been taking care. of the military the v.a. or are supposed to take care of their veterans. and they're supposed to provide good health care and a good transition out of the military and the military and v.a. has failed miserably on doing this and not only on the berm pit issue but you know a lot of mental health issues and everything else there are many people who are working with the v.a. who feel that studies have been either mendip related have been prone to bias in favor of. results that my air or that's having psychosomatic problems instead of physical problems here's what people have been saying about rejected in that it's your position is the law in austin the only show i go out of my way to run you know

a lot of the really packs a punch simply yampa is the john oliver of marty americans do the same thing we are apparently better than blue nothing is bad and i see people you've never heard of love redacted the night the president of the world bank so he doesn't really mean it seriously send us an e-mail. yes i've got a very wide grin on my friend because that saudi friends. we tell them it just good and now yet all is well confiscated basically put on an air b.n. b. and some brits will tell the middle riyad. ha ha ha. the office of public health conducts large studies of the health of american veterans covertly just to studies produce results that did not support the office of public health and written policy. they don't release them. this applies to data

regarding adverse health consequences of environmental exposures such as burn pits in iraq and afghanistan and toxics exposures in the gulf or on the rare occasions when embarrassing study results are released are manipulated to make them unintelligible so there seems to be an ongoing struggle between the truth seekers and the government when it comes to. sort of getting to the bottom of the exposure and health a fact that veterans are now experiencing. been an awful terrible experience for. the for the claim itself to the v.a. to. either compensated or to get medical treatment. is going to home. they. are not there no matter what the. most of their

employees are angry and surely. they don't want to go in there i always thought that they would have the best care and her reality. down it depends on who you get is who provided with the bureaucracy at the v.a. for me is what has been a nightmare to deal with getting bills from the labs for one thousand two thousand dollars for blood work and staff call in the v.a. tell them i'm keep getting these bills call in the lab company the v.a. supposed to pay these bills and they don't and you're already sick with chemo and radiation olsson all these bills are coming at you nobody is paying them. i mean i mean right now we're a quarter million dollars in debt from cancer cos we're bankrupt. and the v.a. still denies mike. but it's not all the stuff from exposures. the

politicians the congressional people that we saw to help us unfortunate drop is like a hot potato swims we make sen. so we have no resolution right now the v.a. still do minor cases we have attorneys for sure. there are no contumacy were jews were. you know it was awful didn't make it through a long. time so i can make with the ten year golden rule the v.a. system itself means that about fourteen years or for me it's no benefits that's why after ten years i don't get the benefits because or i think the v.a. should take more. be more responsible with these guys because they have already put their lives on the line for us why would we. not give them the proper medical attention that they need why give them an appointment three months out and then.

send it you know prolong it even more to maybe. eight months nine months a year and then even fighting for their benefits if they don't. then book person twelve months of them coming back and he doesn't get a diagnosis forget it they're screwed because they don't see it act it's service related service connected the burden of proof is on the veteran they have to be able to service connected it doesn't matter whether you have it or not or the condition can happen during the day you enter to the left that's the big window that you have to fight for. iraq afghanistan war injury is our generation's engine orange. if you look at the historical precedents with agent orange for decades it was not acknowledged and then after decades. it was studied and then

finally soldiers were training. so to go with iraq afghanistan were longing for we can't wait that long poor the burn pits to reckon it's not the pay's that the guys are in the females are dying from the it's i'm often asked the illnesses are showing up in the sentence a lot sooner he put in his time he sacrificed. and gave everything that it was possible to get and. and more proud of that and we don't regret that and he doesn't regret that and we would serve again our sons have enlisted so it's not the service that's a problem and then things happen in war and we understand that there's a cost and and we will carry with that because there are some things that are worth

the cost. but the other side of that is that at the end of it they take care of you and every single time there's a war we do this song and dance with the government where they say no no it wasn't us no it wasn't that it's just you it's you know i don't know what it was it's just the look and it's not every single time. and when is it the last time when is it that they just say ok. this was it and you did your part. what does that time come where you're not fighting afterwards the fight should be done i don't see no way to this because with the agent orange the vietnam veteran still suffering still fighting to be recognized the top of that gulf war veterans fighting to be recognized now you're adding another million or so.

iraq and afghanistan veterans fighting to be recognized that's two generations at least of the men and women who are sick. and they have overwhelmed a v.a. system that was not prepared to handle that to compensate every. soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about their exposure illnesses from exposure from the burn pits. would break would bring literally send a v.a. broke and. they don't want to pay it so the waiting decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time. and they won't have to pay anything. all grow up and. get the middle finger. to be used to model is. delayed and i hope you die. the veterans that i speak to are both mad and

their bewilder some of them are so sick that they don't know if they wake up in the morning and i'm not exaggerating every year is something every year is something that's taken away from the following of life that he has and that we have as a family. and i mean when you. bring him. in that i would can just walk into a restaurant and sit down and he will have a meal. because he's sitting there he's trying to. keep him sound busy on his phone in time nor in town come to predict.

the simple things that. we take for granted. that it doesn't have. our heart. what. what would it what is our future going to be like what does it hold. it's going to get worse. i'd like to think the future is bright. but that's my optimistic guy i try and i think a lot of times go on myself because if i read about the disease that i have. it just gets progressively worse. so i don't know i mean maybe i get a miracle when god heals me and my wife is wonderful and she and i trust on like nothing is ever open. but right now it's too much take care of my husband take care of every other. woman's husband and. man's wife who

served who did their duty because they believed in it because they believed that it was the right thing to do. that's all we're asking. there is absolutely a moral obligation to fix it when these veterans come home and they're sick no matter what they're sick we have an obligation as the american public to take care of these men and women who sacrifice themselves for us i. i hope that. this will have an ending where they jump on this and really story. aggressively treating the soldiers at the v.a. and but i don't see this ending well at all. thomas is going to be gloom and doom. think he's been easy to

spot each. one. teach him everything that can or cannot eat don't wonder. if. he. was heat. which already your fight is going to continue on and. we are going to. tell you where you have. and where you have been bought for. her out to the president of the united states. so that it helps others.

i am.
