During the TP govt shutdown, GOP said using veterans for politics is disgusting?

Remember the Republicans out there with elderly and disabled military in wheelchairs crying that denying them access to their monuments was a disgrace?

Remember how many times Republicans have said they were the "Party for the Veterans"?

So what did they do today to help the Veterans?

Commander: keep Senate bill focused on vets | The American Legion

American Legion National Commander Daniel M. Dellinger said Wednesday that sanctions against Iran have no place in a U.S. Senate debate over legislation that aims to expand health care, education opportunities, employment and other benefits for veterans.

“Iran is a serious issue that Congress needs to address, but it cannot be tied to S. 1982, which is extremely important as our nation prepares to welcome millions of U.S. military servicemen and women home from war. This comprehensive bill aims to help veterans find good jobs, get the health care they need and make in-state tuition rates applicable to all who are using their GI Bill benefits.

Bernie Sanders Blasts Republicans For Trying to Torpedo Veterans Bill With Iran Sanctions

Sen. Bernie Sanders blasted Senate Republicans today for trying to betray the nation’s veterans by attempting to kill the veterans bill with a demand for sanctions against Iran.

-----------------------------------------------------

It's not about sanctions against Iran. That could be done with a separate bill. This is about Republicans once again trying to screw over the veterans. They didn't even pay for the last war. Republicans are planning for the next one and hoping to screw over the veterans all in one neat little package.

This is good news for Veterans. Right you right winers?

All the right winers on here have convinced me that our Vets care nothing for themselves but only want what is best for the country. And having a bill pass Congress that help vets but doesn't allow us to get closer to war with Iran, is not in the vets best interest. Couple that with the fact the bill costs money and no veterans will support this bill. Cause it costs money.

Well maybe a couple would have liked to see it pass, but who cares about a couple of amputees.

That about sum it up Staph?
