"Would it surprise you to know that by virtue of simply being in the military, service members are unknowingly giving up the very constitutional rights that they are fighting to protect?"

@VLI_OnPoint @Cametosayhello I just read the "never Leave a Fallen Comrade..." article and as a VET with PTSD, I was left untreated by the VA after discharge for 3 decades. Now I am 7 years into the VA healthcare system and will never be "cured" So 7 months or 1 year is shameful & a travesty. #veterans
