Republicans stab veterans in the back

Blindsided veterans erupted in anger and indignation Thursday after Senate Republicans suddenly tanked a widely supported bipartisan measure that would have expanded medical coverage for millions of combatants exposed to toxic burn pits during their service. But in a move that shocked and confused veteran groups Wednesday night, 41 Senate Republicans blocked the bill's passage, including 25 who had supported it a month ago.

Republicans talk so tough about national security and are so quick to "send in the marines" at the first hint of trouble around the world are also very quick to stab these same troops in the back.

Thanks guys. I hope you rot in hell!

The vets don't see it that way, do they?

I read the link.
It doesn't say what additional benefits are being given that vets don't already have.
Suppose you tell us what they are being denied by not passing the bill?

AGAIN-----FROM THE LINK
''The measure would boost health care services and disability benefits for veterans suffering from exposure to the burn pits that were used in Iraq and Afghanistan to incinerate waste, with troops often using jet fuel as an accelerant.''..............What a maroon you are/

Since vets already have 100% coverage, how did they plan to boost that?
Vague claims with no facts, I still don't know what they were supposed to get that they don't already have.
Do you?
