Quoted from Henry

So you can't answer his question? come on throw some names out

Quoted from CICERO

Timothy McVeigh, Bradley Manning, and Nadal Hisan were all veterans.  So bow down and
honor all those that served.  Don't judge each individual based on merit, you must kneel
before them, and honor ALL veterans.

For all the bluster from Senator Ted Cruz about the false reasons to fear Obamacare, the irony is
that veterans should fear him and his Tea Party cohorts in the House of Representatives. After all,
they're on a course to block troops and veterans from the health care they're owed.

First, let's examine Obamacare and its effect on veterans. In short, it's a good deal, especially for
families of veterans.

Among veterans, there are three ways they could get health care. First, many retired service members,
and their families, qualify for TRICARE, the military's health care program. It allows them to get care at
any doctor or facility in the TRICARE network. Second, there is care from the Department of Veterans
Affairs, for all veterans for five years after their deployment (any service connected issues are cared
for by the VA past that). Veterans still can get VA care if they make under a certain amount. However,
VA care doesn't extend to a veteran's family. Third, there's the private insurance system.

For those who have TRICARE, or get VA care, they're considered covered under Obamacare's individual
mandate. But, there are over 1 million veterans who have no coverage, and nearly as many veteran
families. Many veterans make too much to qualify for VA care, or TRICARE and VA facilities are just
too far away for that to be a reasonable choice. For their families, they're uninsured for the any of
the many reasons any other American isn't insured -- prohibitive cost being the most likely reason.

It's for them -- the uncovered veterans and their families -- that Obamacare offers a lifeline. For
the first time, possibly in their lives, they'll be able to afford coverage through the eminently affordable
Health Insurance Marketplace, which Obamacare sets up.

For Guard and Reserve, in particular, who don't have service connected issues, Obamacare is huge.
If they haven't deployed, they're not covered by care at the VA, and only sometimes have access
to TRICARE. They mostly depend on employer coverage. For many of them, they'll get it under
Obamacare. And if their employer has an exemption, the Guardsman or Reservist will be able to get
insurance in the marketplace, for them and their family, with subsidies.

And so, Obamacare is, as Joe Biden called it, a "B.F.D." for veterans and their families.

That brings us back to Ted Cruz, and his Tea Party allies in the House. They're now trying to block
veterans and their families from getting affordable health insurance.

Don't judge each individual based on merit......  

Quoted from joebxr

That is the definition of how you think...you lump everyone into a category that fits
what you want them to be. You see someone that wears a uniform and you DO NOT
attempt in the least to evaluate the person...you immediately stereotype them because
they wear/wore a uniform!!!!  Bravo!!!

Having you "honor" a Veteran is not of any value anyway.

Quoted from Box A Rox

TeaBaggers Hate Veterans

Quoted from bumblethru

My grandfather was in the battle of the  bulge under patton........he came home with pts....shock treatments......screwed up the rest of his life! He was  but an 20 year old KID, leaving a pregnant wife behind. His experience was so horrific...that he hardly ever mentioned it. I loved him to death.....HONESTLY.....but I didn't honor him..........I felt sorry for him and do up to this day!!!

Quoted Text

Honor has several synonyms: “esteem, respect, pay homage to, assigning value to.”
The Greek word translated “honor” in our English Bibles, timao, means “to prize, fix a valuation upon;
by implication, to revere” (Strong’s Concordance).
Showing honor, then, means treating another respectfully because we value them highly.

Quoted from joebxr

It's sad that you do not understand what it means to honor someone and only felt sorry for your Grandfather!
He deserved more!!!

Quoted from Henry

He said he loved his Grandfather but felt sorry for him for what he went through during and after the war, nothing wrong with that.
