The Justice Department, has decided that it will make a statement declaring that the law does not give rights of benefits to veterans. This is an interesting thing, being that if you go to work in all states that company must provide workers compensation to those who are or may be injured. It seems somehow that we the people does not mean we the people but instead the Justice Department has decided that they are the authority on what is right, however law declares that in a time of peace by title 38 part two chapter 11 subchapter four, 1131 that at peace time service that you are as a veteran entitled to compensation due to injuries incurred or diseases incurred or aggravated in the line of duty. This is law under the United States code.
I find it incomparably irresponsible of a government that asks its men and women to serve and allows them to be injured in a time of war or of peace not to take responsibility for those people. There is however, also a US code for wartime disabilities incurred or aggravated injuries or diseases, so long as they were discharged under any other than dishonorable, or caused by willful misconduct of said person. This is located at USC title 38 part two chapter 11 subchapter two, 1110. You can find both at Cornell Law University site representing USC.
I have heard, and you have heard that there are people that just play the system. I however am amazed that in many states we give welfare to people who have not done anything to receive this and that money on most parts is supplied by federal and state funding. I believe that if we are going to financially support anyone it should be first to those who have served even one single day in service to our country, so long as that service cannot be identified with dishonorable discharge. Don't get me wrong, I believe we have a duty to help the poor and hungry, homeless, destitute, and widows and orphans. However much of the time helping would be better rendered by teaching an occupation that would give them their own means of support and responsibility.
I know that there are many people who do not agree with these wars that we're in, and I would preferably not have our soldiers in this situation, but they are. They did not decide to start this war, they only decided to be servants of the people and protectors of what is good and solemn. I take my hat off to you soldiers and I bless you and pray that God go with you and bring you home safely. We need to bring this nation back to responsibility by making our government, who are supposed to be servants of the people, take care of their responsibility to our men and women in uniform and to veterans who have served and their families.
We are still the United States of America. We can as a people restore all that is good, and return to the values that we so often have allowed judges to declare that fathers and mothers must pay child support, that companies shall keep workmen's comp so that if our children have needs they are met and workers who are injured on the job are taken care of and compensated so that they and their families can continue to survive in those times of tragedy. So we know less, as a people must require our government to take care of our soldiers and our veterans. They say we don't have the money to take care of all the needs, and I tell you that as a parent they would not allow me to get away with not having money to take care of my child or to provide workmen comp to my employees so that they are covered under bad circumstances. We need to first, take care of our own and quit supplying the billions of dollars to all these other nations, and not fully and completely take care of our veterans. Thank you and may God bless you in your endeavors soldiers and veterans
