To Military Retiree E-mail Network:
I normally just pass e-mails along without comment, but this is an
exception.
After looking at the indicated web page in the attachment, these
thoughts came to mind. We have worked to educate the Congress, the
President, the Courts, and the American people, but we forgot about the
current active duty military.
I had forgotten about the age difference. How old would a Colonel
currently on active duty be? Maybe 35? That means that he has been in
the service for 15 years? That means he came in the service about 1985?
Maybe my numbers are wrong but stay with me.
We have (at least I have) made the assumption that the active duty
military knew exactly what we are doing in reference to the military
retiree medical care broken promise issue and why we are doing it. Am I
wrong? Do the senior NCO's and seniors Officers really understand the
problem we are working on?
Will we have to educate the active duty folks also?
Does a person on active duty really understand what the VA does for a
military retiree?
Do they understand that at the VA military retiree means little or
nothing?
Do they understand that "service connected injury or sickness" is the
key words at the VA?
Will we become the villains as this series play out?
Hey! How come nobody likes us anymore?
Are yesterdays heros todays bums?
Tune in tomorrow folks as the big wheel keeps on turning and proud
military retirees keep on burning.
SURPRISE!!! Just in case you can not access the web page in question I
have the article below my ID block. Notice how I'm causing you to scroll
through some web pages in my ID block that I would also would like for
you to look at. Is that tricky?
HEY FOLKS! SMILE AND DON'T TAKE ALL OF THIS TOO SERIOUSLY I'M JUST
HAVING A LITTLE FUN.

Sincerely:
Floyd H. Sears, MSGT, USAF, 1951-1971, (Retired)
Keeping the military retiree medical care broken promise issue alive.

Veterans' Gripe Is Loud and Clear
By Thomas E. Ricks
Thursday , August 3, 2000 ; A27
The National Veterans Organization, a group of veterans unhappy with
their benefits, has put up billboards in Texas and New Mexico
discouraging people from enlisting in the military.
"Thinking about a military career?" the billboards ask. "Think again."
The move provoked a phone call to the group's leader, the interestingly
named Douglas McArthur, from Col. Curtis Taylor, an official in the
Pentagon's manpower office.
McArthur, a disabled Navy vet, said the colonel told him that "we're
having enough recruiting problems now and that sign is just going to
make it worse."
Taylor didn't return calls for comment. A Pentagon spokesman said that
the colonel simply was making inquiries and advising the unhappy vets
that their gripe is more with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
McArthur says the group has no plans to take down the sign. "That was
the intent: to get their attention," he said. "We're putting more
[signs] up around the country."
