Don't deny vets services they earned
I recently read an Associated Press article by Jim Salter, Some discharges mean no benefits for veterans, saying some vets who have had multiple tours in Iraq get no VA benefits because of their discharges are less than honorable.
I am retired military with all benefits, but I did nothing compared to someone who did three tours in Iraq. Anyone who answered the government's call to serve in very dangerous situations should get VA benefits, except for people who commit very serious crimes.
The very least, everyone should get medical care, and as good of medical care as Congress gets.
