The time to debate the price of war is before they begin. After that, the price being paid by the men and women sent, should never be open to discussion. They should just be taken care of. War causes death. War causes wounds.
While the congress may be able to easily accept the price of replacing equipment they should never, ever debate the price of taking care of the veterans.
Anyone in congress even suggesting that funds should be cut from them as more and more are added to the ranks of combat veterans, should resign from office. They don't belong there.
Any congressional district with a member of congress defending tax cuts for the wealthy at the same time they talk about cutting anything to do with veterans, should recall them and get them out of office. They have shown their loyalty is with the wealthy and they don't care about the men and women serving this nation with their lives instead of their mouths delivering yet one more speech on how much they "support the troops" when they turn around and take away from the veterans.
