The Presidential Election and How it will Affect Veteran Affairs

As many of you probably know, this November will decide that fate of the world. You probably think I'm joking, which I am, but that does not take away anything from how important this upcoming election will be for not just veterans, but every single American citizen. As I've said in past blogs, I stay as far away as I can from choosing either left or right when it comes to politics and I will continue to do so because I'm not here to try and persuade you to believe in what I believe in. My goal for this blog has been and will always be a place to come and get honest, quality, sometimes humorous Veteran Affair updates. So when I start to dip into politics, don't start commenting and tweeting at me to stay in my lane. I do it only to inform you guys and keep you up to date. In my last blog I went over a little bit on what each candidate has said on what they will be doing to try and help veterans in their next four in office. President Trump has made claims to improve the funding for veterans with many other ideas that he has said he will put in place to ensure veterans will be much better off down the road these next years but I don't see it happening considering what he has done in his past. Vice President Biden on the other hand, has been very supportive of veterans in his 40 years in politics and has said he will do a much better of job at putting veterans up higher on the priorities list. Again, this is all verbal from each side but with a new party and candidate in office, I feel change is more apt to happen. In other news, a Vietnam Veteran was assaulted by a woman in Massachusetts for holding a sign stating "Veterans for Trump." The veteran was 73 years old and wasn't hurt in the incident but this case speaks a lot of volume to me. It is showing that our country right now still puts people's political beliefs as a crime. We need to learn as a whole country to just accept everyone doesn't agree with you and that even if they do believe in something, it shouldn't make them a bad person.

President Trump

       As most of you may know, these past two weeks have been some of the most politically violent times in American history. It all starts though with our very own president. Donald Trump has now been president for a full term and has made a lot of noise towards the end of his legacy. President Trump has some of the most loyal followers as well so the whole situation doesn't really make any sense. Why would people go out of their way to support a man who couldn't care less about them? This question was raised highly after a group of white nationalists and republicans stormed the United States Capital building. In most countries, this act would end in a slaughter of civilians and would possibly cause a civil war between a country. What was funny about this was this was not the fact they were granted permission to overthrow the capital, the leader of our country was the root cause behind it. For months this raid had been planned by Trump supporters all over the country. Now you

Veteran's in the news!

       Greetings. I know I haven't been posting like I should be recently but with school and graduation right around the corner, I haven't had much time to blogging and seeing what's been going on in the veterans world! Covid has taken a turn for the better which is something that I never thought I would say. President Biden has been getting vaccines out like no tomorrow. Every adult after April 19th will have access to a vaccine that will keep you safe from the deadly coronavirus. Numbers in cases have gone down dramatically as well. We were averaging more than three thousand cases a day but that has dropped significantly. Now you may ask, what does Covid-19 has to do with Veterans. I'll tell you why. The more lives and attention Covid takes, the less attention and support our veterans get from our country. Our veterans are in desperate need right now and the longer Covid continues, the longer Veterans will suffer.     More than 50% of our veterans are over the age of

My New Idea!

Every family in the U.S either has a relative or has had someone close to them serve our country. Giving up the ultimate sacrifice to serve and protect our country is something I will always be grateful for and I will continue to be in their debt until I die. My opinion isn't really shared countrywide and this has become a big problem in today's world. This is where my new idea comes into play... haha. After doing a solid week of research on Veteran Affairs and the current status of it. I have read several honest blog posts, a couple different websites and they say the same thing. Veterans are being treated like second class citizens. The treatment of veterans in the U.S has been very suspect for quite some time now. It has only been 40 years since the American Psychiatric Association came out with PTSD and how it can affect heros returning from war in many different ways. Instead of them being a major priority for our government, we have kind of pushed them to the side and jus
