No self respecting Commander in Chief, would have ever allow the Fort Hood massacre to be reduced to ‘work place violence’. His major concerns are most likely; (1) golf handicap, (2) where taxpayers send him, and his family, on another mega-buck vacation.

NO, He favors arabs and Muslims! The Muslim that killed 15 of our US soldiers at Ft. Hood has yet to be tried, and called it work place violence,when it was murder! A few of our soldiers peed on some Afgan dead bodies and he wants to try them as criminals! They were wrong in what they did,but they are not criminals! Any soldier that speaks against him wil be harassed by this administration!

S* to joe ram... 2012/05/02 03:50:41

find a link that the President has hindered the Ft Hood trial, and one that suggests he thinks that the Marine incident, not soldiers, was something that should be handled by the Marine Corps? It is against Geneva Conventions, and against the military code of conduct, otherwise you are a hater just piping off with no substance. Go ahead and hate, but try using real facts to support your hate.

I'm not in the service nor was I but people close to me are, and especially one, and in no way has the president shown support to their outfit or what they do short term or long term!!!! I have seen and heard the frustrations as a result of this neglected duty on the end of this administration.

I wonder what pres was forcing troops to stay for many more tours than they should have. I wonder who was forcing 60 year old people to come back. I wonder who was giving (no bid) contracts to help ensure the troops had to get stuff from home to keep themselves safe, I wonder who was paying 200K per month for suv's for the so-called contract workers, ohh that was each SUV, >;O. I wonder who didn't do crap about vets not getting proper medical care till it got really bad. I wonder who didn't make sure the vets had a home or job to come home to when the market crashed,, geee, I wonder and I never forget.

3-physicians & 3 surgeons,said I needed a spinal lamectomy and micro surgery add on.
Tri-Care denied the claim with out examining or talking to me; albeit I'm in excruciating pain. My injury happened at home. I'm recently retired after 27 years in the Military. I didn't except the denial. My family practice Doctor got me an appointment with Sutter Neuroscience Spine,Center. In 3 weeks the Surgeons ,Pinpoimted the problem & Weds I have surgery. 11 monthes of pain because of Tri-Care; Our insurance.

Interesting. Wife had two heart attacks, both were fully covered. I had Prostate cancer, now in remission. Also covered.

Tricare doesnt prescribe anything, or examine anyone. And like any insurance, there are things not covered, or requiring a Co-Pay. Read your policy.

Tri Care didn't agree with the first surgeons assessment; I know insurance companies don't examine you but how can they deny a procedure with out talking to the Patient, or Surgeon? I was in the Military 27 years I've read their material. Tri-Care says they are not an insurance carrier. I finally resolved the issue; with no help from them my family practice Doctor & Neuroscience Spine Surgeon helped me & the patient advocate.

Tri Care deals with an Insurance carrier. They had a change in carriers recently here in the Western Region which slowed claims for about 3 weeks.

"Our prime contracting partners are Health Net Federal Services, Inc and Humana Military Healthcare Services. Health Net adminsters the North Region contract. Humana administers the South Region contract. PGBA, LLC processes claims for both regions."

You are not a Vet apparently and seen the deterioration in benefits, and the increased costs. Talk to someone that is living it.

Tricare costs have been reised twice in the past 3 years. And now he is pushing to have the Retired folks pay more for their health care.

He chose a trip to Chicago for a long weekend over participating in the Memorial Day ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. This man despises the military except for when it's politically expedient for him to appear otherwise.

As a Vet I say NO and as the wife of a current solider I say NO again.

According to the Huffington Post, it reads as follows:

“For their determination to put an end to veterans living on the streets, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will receive the highest honor given to homeless advocates.
The Obamas were chosen to get this year’s Jerald Washington Memorial Founders' Award, according to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV), and Barack Obama is the first person -- in history -- to receive the award more than once.”
