[Anyone] Army says: Don't help injured vets

[totem at laplaza.org]

For bleeding heart liberals and veterans as well:
> 
> If you're a disabled soldier returning from Iraq or Afghanistan and need a hand filling out the 
paperwork for your benefits, don't bother asking the Department of Veteran Affairs. They won't help.
> 
> That's because last year Army officials instructed representatives from the VA at Fort Drum not to 
help veterans with their disability paperwork because there was a "conflict of interest."[1] Soldiers that 
get help from the VA tend to get higher disability ratings...which means that the government owes 
them more money. And within the Bush administration's corporate worldview, that just doesn't work. 
After all, they've got their buddies to pay.  Tell Secretary of the Army Geren that this is not acceptable 
and sign our petition today.

who have fought for our country and deserve better.
