Sgt. Isaac Shawn Sims, a 26-year-old, third generation army veteran who served two tours of duty in Iraq, died in a gunfight with police this past weekend – he was diagnosed by the VA as having severe PTSD, yet not given treatment.
Earlier this month Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-California) stated that vets shouldn’t own firearms because they could have PTSD, yet the VA isn’t treating them properly when they return home.
It’s all too obvious that the Obama administration is waging war on our vets and active military, as well-outlined in an article by Constitutional Attorney Michael Connelly, an excerpt is below the video.
As for our government, we have a President of the United States, an administration, and a Congress that seems intent on breaking the morale of our soldiers and destroying their capability of protecting our nation. Their actions support the fact that there is an all-out assault on both our active duty military and our veterans. The elements of this assault consist of:
- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a bulletin to all police agencies in 2009 naming all military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan as potential domestic terrorists.
- Senator Diane Feinstein declares that all veterans have PTSD and are therefore mentally ill and should not be allowed to own firearms.
- The Veterans Administration in 2009 begins declaring veterans with physical disabilities, minor PTSD, past depression, or who even allow their spouses to pay the family bills as mental defectives incompetent to handle their own financial affairs and forbidding them from owning, purchasing, or possessing firearms. This process is accelerating.
- Obama unilaterally cuts billions of dollars from our military budget without approval of Congress.
- Congress passes legislation authorizing sequestration leading to massive cuts in the military readiness of the United States, and putting us in a position of being incapable of defending our national interests around the world.
- Our military capabilities are being cut in half and we have lost respect around the world. The ridiculous politically correct rules of engagement imposed on our fighting men and women in combat have cost countless American lives.
- High ranking officers in the military who disagree with these policies of the Administration are being purged, and enlisted personnel who utilize their right to free speech to express their concerns are being court martialed and dishonorably discharged.
- The Obama administration has also launched an attack on the very foundation of the success of our military, the profound religious beliefs of most of our troops. Members of the military are being prohibited from practicing their religion even to the point of being denied the right to have bibles in their workplace, mentioning Christmas, or expressing their opposition to radical Islam. Chaplains are having their sermons and even prayers censored to make sure they are politically correct.
- The Veterans Administration that is supposed to represent the interests of our military heroes has slowed down the process of filing claims for benefits to the point where veterans are waiting for months and even years to have their claims processed. In addition, when veterans go to the VA they are being asked if they own firearms, if they have ever been depressed, and if their spouses handle the family finances. Then this information is being used to declare them incompetent and deny them their Constitutional rights under the 5th and 2nd Amendments.
- During both the 2010 and 2012 election cycles the Obama administration through the Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder, actively encouraged Secretaries of State around the country to violate Federal law by failing to timely mail out absentee ballots to active duty military personnel. As a result, hundreds of thousands of military votes were never counted, denying our heroes a basic American right.
- While civilian employees of the Obama administration get pay raises, members of the military and veterans are seeing their pay and benefits cut with the Secretary of Defense promising more cuts to come.
- Military families are also being affected in other ways. Chuck Hagel wants to close commissaries at U. S. bases forcing military families to purchase their groceries from civilian stores where they will pay up to 30% more. In addition, thousands of military spouses work at these commissaries to supplement the family income. They will be losing their jobs.
I could go on with this list because it just scratches the surface. Our military members and our veterans are being hammered by the government they have fought for. They are being denied the medical care they were promised, the respect they are due, and ultimately the constitutional rights they have been defending. Enough is enough, if we allow our military and veterans to be treated this way, how can we expect the government not to turn on all of us.
ya gotta give it to them they are both great actors..
Part of a reply to the killing in Calif sent earlier. A big problem is that our Government Liberal, leftist Democrats have no sanctity for life either private or Vets. As long as the people vote for such people the murders and suicides we see are a product of a sick society.
Very sad that had to happen and the only one to blame is Obama and his corrupted administration. They don’t care about the veterans, he is hoping that all of them do something like that to take all the guns away from every ABIDEN citizen and veteran. It is plot against them and the american people. These bastards in government all have to go to prison.
Soon the government will not have control of it .it will be the US military If you guys have not hared about new world order…… Lol
Obama is afraid of veterans and active military. He doesn’t understand how a man can be willing to give his life in defense of a principle. He wants to cut back on US born soldiers and fill the military with illegals because they will back his policies and fire on other citizens. The US born soldier, hopefully, will remember that his oath is to defend and protect the Constitution not a president.
We were out voted by the coalition of the minorities, the free loaders, the illegals, the uneducated and the god haters. Time is like a river, we will never be able to regain the greatness of America. The real Americans are a dying breed. Let’s see what a criminal commie society can produce. They have 2 more long years.
Its time that Americans boycott joining the armed forces until we have a government and administration that honors these men from birth to eternity. Its been too long since Americans have has a soldier in the white house, and the state of our dear nation reflects that. In fact today, we dont have an American citizen in the white house, which shows total disdain and disrespect for America and all who serve it. ITS TIME FOR AMERICANS TO DUMP OBAMA AND ALL WHO SUPPORT HIM, TO CLEANSE THE WHITE HOUSE AND GOVERNMENT FOR THE SUBVERSIVES AND THOSE THAT HATE AMERICA. CONGRESS IS A CESSPOOL OF CORRUPTION AND MALFEASANCE. IF IT TAKES A REVOLT THEN BE SO.
This kind of action is coming to all Americans…so be prepared. Obama is after all of us,
Which is better Obama, making sure our vets receive the best care possible or these damn photo ops that you and the queen pride yourselves on while lying to the American people.
The Obama’s have clearly failed US all.
