In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the three witches promised Macbeth that he could not lose until “Birnam Wood shall come to Dunsinane” (that being Macbeth’s castle). Since it was impossible for a forest to pick itself up and move, Macbeth figured he was invulnerable. But Duncan’s troops cut branches from the trees and used them to camouflage…

Memorial Day 2020.. The war at home.
Memorial Day is hard anytime. A time of rememberance and for military and vet families, it is very hard along with many holidays. This year is even more trying. We have more soldiers in the healthcare industry who have died on the front lines of trying to save lives and ultimately losing their own with…
Social Security and VA under Trump as usual Chaotic but I have researched and found about Stimulus
I read one thing on IRS.gov that is still in a state of confusion and found even less on VA.gov but I did find this dated today from the Dept. of Treasury. home.treasury.gov/… WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service today announced that Social Security beneficiaries who are not typically…
Veterans Day 2019…Volunteers suffer themselves but soldier on to help. That is Patriotism.
I have written many stories on behalf of veterans and many of them are here. I have wrestled with the idea of how long I would continue with United Veterans. It is getting very rough ! This year I am going to do something out of the ordinary. I came up with the idea of…
A DK vet in trouble and this is an emergency. Remember the vet who went and rescued my vet?
This to me may be the second most important diary I have written. The first one was back in 2012 when my Vet had a PTSD break and was stranded in South Carolina. Remember? This is an emergency fundraising Diary ! The vet from Daily Kos dropped what he was doing and he and …
Not strong enough? The chickenhawk opines on PTSD combat vets. I am very angry over this.
He has really crossed the line here. I don’t have a curse word strong enough for this stupidity and he may have just caused more vets to commit suicide describing them all but weak. He is a threat to so many people but it is unbelievable that he does this and no wonder he can’t…
From an advocate: Too much attention on past wars is not good for disabled vets.
This is just my opinion but for over 30 years, I have observed and attended many traditional holidays honoring our veterans and special occasions such as D Day. As the wife of a disabled PTSD vet and being around many veterans, I do not think it is healthy for most veterans. There are parades and…
Memorial Day Weekend and the truth about dying is dying even after the war. Honor them.
This is a different kind of post honoring those who gave all. First we need to understand that men and women who wear the uniform and march to battle are courageous folks and Memorial Day is not Veterans Day. It is a day to honor those who have given their lives. ( Trigger…
Fox News blatherskites: Vets who use all their benefits lack personal integrity
On the one hand, Pete Hegseth claims he never washes his hands and Brian Kilmeade gestated for nine months in a Folgers can full of bathtub gin*, so the stuff they say is bound to make little to no sense. On the other hand, they’re regulars on Fox & Friends, which is Donald Trump’s favorite show….
Attempts at Swift Boating Amy McGrath in KY-6th Congressional Race.
I admire veterans because they joined the military and served. I did not serve because I didn’t have what it takes both mentally and physically, or at least I think so. I don’t like admitting that, but there it is. However, does it piss anyone else off when some veterans decide to attack their fellow…
