House GOP fired Veterans-friendly committee chair in order to "save money"
We now know how the Bush administration got away with years of providing such paltry support to our injured and maimed veterans from the Iraq war and Afghanistan. The Republican congressional leadership forcibly removed the GOP House committee chair in charge of overseeing veterans. Why? He was too vet-friendly, too interested in meeting the growing needs of our war veterans, and the Republicans wanted to save money at the expense of our injured and maimed veterans.

The real shame is how expendable our soldiers become once illness or injury has retired them from active duty: our vets deserve far better than this.
