Veteran Who Lost Leg in Iraq War Fights for Benefits

by Peter Macdonald

This is why I fight for the rights being denied people in the U.S. I volunteer my time because when a U.S. congress woman from NH can have a 100% disabled veteran from the Vietnam Conflict arrested on her criminal false complaint to the police to stop my letter to the editor. Then She uses my VA medical service connected condition to have a VA Dr. Biswas file commitment orders with out merit.

Then the VA director in NH stops my medical care for political self gain. Do you see what people that never served in our military are doing to Veterans. These are crimes to harm the children that went to war to protect this nation then elected officials cover up the devastating way (if it is not to the political benefit of a elected official) they treat Veterans. Matt Pennington from Detroit Maine has been tossed around for 20 months. The 5 years of hell that I went through when I first returned to the world (U.S.) in 74, Matt is just starting.

Returning Veterans need help. Some times that help is just a hand when we re-live conditions you that never served can conceive. Some need arms or legs replaced with out being caught in red tape. We take up drinking to accept that we no longer belong in the place we dreamed of returning to . We take drugs to accept the fact the girl that we loved is now married to our best friend that never served in our military. We have hostile destructive actions at the most inapposite times. We command instead of ask. We duck or jump and it embarrasses you. I ask you to imagine what this child whom became a Veteran is living through because he gave his life for this nation.

I want nothing from you for my actions. This is what volunteer means. I fight not for self gain, but to see what you are doing to me, never happens to another Veteran. We have laws and a Constitution that the elected officials and Judges are violating and no one cares. You want facts I have them but no one cares. I have just explained why Veterans commit suicide when we return. You used us. Now we have become out casts to your society that you just ignore. I am not angry or bitter. Those are words you use to harm my character in the public eye to avoid identifying these crimes. A Veteran whom lost his legs in war for you should never be made to beg. Have a Merry Christmas it is because this Veterans and many others life ended that you can celebrate.
