You were often blamed for a war you didn’t start, when you should have been commended for serving your country with valor. You were sometimes blamed for misdeeds of a few, when the honorable service of the many should have been praised. You came home and sometimes were denigrated, when you should have been celebrated,” Obama said. “It was a national shame, a disgrace that should have never happened. And that’s why here today we resolve that it will not happen again. And so a central part of this 50th anniversary will be to tell your story as it should have been told all along.”

Obama speech to Viet Nam Vets

But the wingnuts will never acknowledge that the President has said these words.

Meaningless drivel. When will Americans learn to be smart enough to judge politicians by their actions instead of the pretty words?

The ONLY promise Obama has kept is that he defunded NASA.

Bush 2 Wars
Obama 5 Wars

But, that's only a "conspiracy theory".

“Because of Vietnam and our veterans, we now use American power smarter, we honor our military more, we take care of our veterans better,” Obama said.

Obama cuts military health care benefits, leaves unionized civilians untouched - HUMAN EVENTS

The Obama administration’s proposed defense budget calls for military families and retirees to pay sharply more for their healthcare, while leaving unionized civilian defense workers’ benefits untouched. The proposal is causing a major rift within the Pentagon, according to U.S. officials. Several congressional aides suggested the move is designed to increase the enrollment in Obamacare’s state-run insurance exchanges.

Significantly, the plan calls for increases between 30 percent to 78 percent in Tricare annual premiums for the first year. After that, the plan will impose five-year increases ranging from 94 percent to 345 percent—more than 3 times current levels.

Veterans will also be hit with a new annual fee for a program called Tricare for Life, on top of the monthly premiums they already pay, while some benefits will become “means-tested” in the manner of a social program – treating them like welfare instead of benefits for military service. Naturally, this is all timed to begin next year and “avoid upsetting military voters in a presidential election year,” according to critics.

Wow, who would have done something that shitty?

Maybe the same guys who were planning this?

Shortly before noon on Friday, March 6, 1970, people in the townhouse were assembling nail bombs packed with dynamite and roofing nails. Former members of Weatherman later advanced differing claims as to the planned uses of the bombs. According to Mark Rudd, the plan was to set them off that evening at a dance for noncommissioned officers and their dates at the Fort Dix, New Jersey Army base, to "bring the [Vietnam] war home".[2] Other reports say that some were destined for the Fort Dix dance and some were to destroy the main library at Columbia University

That would Obama's old pal, Bill Ayers, the guy in whose living room he announced his candidacy for president.

We can't judge a President on how he honors soldiers on Memorial Day. Especially if he is a Democrat

Your piece is from 2011. Mine is from 2012.

http://www.govexec.com/defense/2012/02/budget-request-includes-tricare-cut-military-retirement-details/41193/

President Obama proposed new TRICARE co-pays and fees, as well as a review of military retirement benefits, in his fiscal 2013 budget unveiled Monday.

The administration provided new details on Defense Department personnel cuts first proposed in January.

The budget includes new TRICARE co-pays, additional increases to TRICARE Prime enrollment fees, initiation of standard and extra annual enrollment fees, and adjustments to deductibles and catastrophic coverage caps.

I think its ironic that Obama's buddy's were the ones spitting at and protesting the soldiers in the 60's and 70's.

I am in disbelief at the left's ability to ignore these FACTS.

Indeed. Words are cheap for obama. They mean nothing, since he lies so much, so often. These words are just another lie spewed for his personal benefit. His actions, and his words in other venues speak to his disdain for, even hatred of, the American military.
