The Veterans Administration is a national disgrace. Men and women who serve this country in the military deserve a lot better than they are getting. The idea of private healthcare insurance for veterans is a good one although the details need a lot of clarification before rushing into another government program. Subsidizing private healthcare insurance for veterans as a way to shutdown every VA hospital needs no clarification.
NOTE: Trying to maintain VA hospitals in addition to subsidizing private healthcare insurance would be a bigger disaster than the ACA.
The danger in going to subsidized private healthcare insurance for veterans can be seen in the GI Bill. Paying for education after veterans serve the country is now part of the pay package, and it’s a good idea. Subsidizing higher education for everybody has become an education industry boondoggle that staggers common sense. My point: The parasite class is already talking about riding into socialized medicine on the backs of veterans’ healthcare. Their justification: Whatever veterans get the rest of us should get, too.
Obviously, wars make wounded veterans
There would be a lot fewer wars if they were only fought for self-defense. Most wars are fought for the beliefs of the very few. WWI was such a war for Americans. America was not threatened in any way, yet President Wilson took the country to war to satisfy his personal beliefs.
WWII was a war of self-defense. America was attacked. Whether or not FDR could have used diplomacy to dissuade Japan from declaring war is another discussion.
Conclusion: Never fight in a war for somebody else’s beliefs. The same can be said of revolutions. Never fight for the beliefs of the few à la Communist revolutions. Fighting against the beliefs of religious fanatics of every stripe is self-defense.
In the same vain, American military people are already forced to serve the United Nations. Should another major United Nations Police Action like the ‘Korean War’ come the draft will have to be reinstated; ergo, everybody in the military will be forced to fight for the beliefs of the UN-loving global government crowd. The rest of the country will be forced to pay for it.
Fighting FOR limited government is one of two acceptable reason for an aggressive war or revolution. Question: How many times did people fight a revolution, or go to war, for limited government. Answer: None. Not once. Never. Even the American Revolution was fought for independence. Limited government only came after THE WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE was won. Throughout all of the decades since 1783 not one serious movement for limited government has been mentioned anywhere in the world let alone fought for, while the democracy movement (totalitarian government) throughout the 20th century has been growing in deed and in public discourse.
Fighting a war of aggression for profit is the second acceptable reason for going to war. Sad to say a war for profit is the easier one to sell.
Finally, a religious war of aggression declared by Muslin fundamentalists is a first in that it is a one-sided war. America is not at war while Islam is.
