The Ministry of Patriots...(and Veterans Affairs)

In South Korea they are post heinously honoring a Japanese lawyer who tried to assist Koreans during the Japanese occupation of Korea.

Now how about that... The Ministry of PATRIOTS? Good for them.

If only the US would properly look after and fund its own veterans. I used to work within a hospital complex housing the veterans hospital and hospice, and it was a place full of gloom, blank faces, lives shattered and the smell hospitals tend to have.

Vietnam's agent orange afflictions, Desert Storm's gulf war syndrome...What will be next?
Thank god we are ruled (well, for about 20 days more, anyway...) by Mr. Dick Cheney, proud recipient of 4 Vietnam service deferments, and GWB, Texas ANG deserter.
