This is very kind, but this shouldn't have to happen. Our government should be kissing the feet of men that serve in combat, or just in general.

This is the real story. Don't disguise bread crumbs of hope as uplifting. Its fucking sad the way veterans are treated. It was sad learning about it and seeing it. They don't care about us

What amazes me is how many service people vote republican, and those are the ones that want to take and take from them.

Agree – it's like when people vote against affordable healthcare, then pray that gofundme will help cover a catastrophic illness.

Exactly. I'm from outside of Chicago, and Steve McMichael of the Bears is huge here. The guy was an NFL player for years, including the famous Superbowl win. He now has ALS. While I feel sorry for him, why is there a GoFundMe for him? I mean, did he piss away all that he got playing? Not to mention a wresting career, and a radio show? Asking for something like that seems like the height of arrogance.
