		<description>The wh#@es in Washington recently also approved 1.3 billion dollars to be paid to the Taliban, not to shoot at us.  The new American mantra is, if you cannot capture or kill them; buy them off.  These enemy combatants will be receiving more dollars per month, than some of our own disabled vets, currently on VA disability. Is this what myself and millions of other vets became disabled for.  Lets pay all vets who apply for VA disability, immediately, rather than having them battle for years to receive their earned benefits.</description>

		<description>Why Do We Kill 10-30-09
Peter Macdonald 465 Packers falls rd Lee NH 03824 603-659-6217
	Greed and power in the wrong hands is the main reason.  The other side of the story is the unwillingness of the other citizens to help those being wronged by the government. I preach about how the U.S. Military veteran is getting the short end of the stick and many get tired of it.   I started life at 17 years old as a U.S. Marine.  Yes I was in a car accident right out of boot camp and lost all my memory forever because of brain damage.  I did the next thirty-one months over seas during the Vietnam Conflict where I receive two more combat related disabilities. I returned in 74 to a world that I had no memory of ever living in before because of the amnesia.  I had learned how to kill as my main function in life and participated in it.  One day the Military dropped me into a world (U.S.) with no support or introduction.   I used the UCMJ as my guide and volunteered as my crouch to adjust.  With a memory problem, a broken back and loss of hearing in both ears from jet blast seeing life back here was different than others saw it.   I saw a country full of citizens trying to do the right thing dominated by the few willing to risk everything to get ahead of all the others.  Miss use of power and fear allows so few to control so many and diminish our guaranteed rights of our Constitution.  Returning Combat veterans through mental anguish re-cant their lives because protecting those that we did it for cannot fall prey to what we have become.  Those silent demons that come after the Military physical so no medical help is available.  The U.S. does not support the veteran only the image that greed and power can gain by publicly displaying the enormous money spent on buildings and staff.  Medical help is limited or given to those that can produce the most publicity because so much money is wasted.  Most elected officials do not care about the veteran only the vote to increase the politician’s greed and power.
	I am a 100% disabled Veteran because two years after my discharge I gave the VA a copy of my military records which they lost.  Last year because of the continuous memory of what I did my fourth disability was granted PTSD.  NH U.S. Rep Shea-Porter uses my military disabilities as a weapon to stop my opinion letters.  Yes my medical care was stopped.  Yes she filed false police complaints to get me arrested.  Yes she contacted a VA doctor to get me medically locked up to stop my opinion.  Nothing has been done to stop her because the newspapers censor their readers from the truth.  I speak about myself but this same thing and worse happens to all to many veterans unable to afford help or stop it themselves. 
	The newspapers are the U.S. Military Veteran’s worst enemy because they ignore or refuse to inform the readers of the greed and power.  Can silencing the free speech of U.S. Military Veterans be the right thing to do?  Remember if it was/is not for the U.S. Military Veteran this country will not exist as it does where you that never served can become slaves to the few with greed and power. Frustration and anger is the motivator to stop the greed and power by killing.
