BIGUN 1,314 #1 May 10, 2012 Of the last five Presidents; which one has done the most for Veterans? "Most" is defined as all around aftercare (Mental & Physical Health, Finance, Education, Jobs). Poll is in chronological order. Please vote first, then validate your answer after some research.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

My thought, too, unless the OP's intent is to gauge mainly preconceived notions. OP: can you please clarify? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully, folks will come back and validate their position and/or explain their findings. It's an interesting question, don't you think?Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIGUN 1,314 #10 May 10, 2012 Friday Morning US CST... I'll post my findings and discuss the poll. Just a little time to get enough results. BTW I received the same poll from the American Legion. So, I did some homework on the matter and thought it would be interesting to see poll results here (mind you, theirs' is just a poll also and those results _may_ be inaccurate).Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

jgoose71 0 #20 May 11, 2012 It depends on how you define "most for veterans" As far as funding VA, I do have to say Obama has done the most. His porkulus plan did include $1.4 Billion to fund VA to take care of troops coming back from war http://www.va.gov/recovery/ ... However.... As far as supporting the military and the troops on the battlefield, he has fallen way short. There is the reason why the military loved Bush."There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

Gravitymaster 0 #21 May 11, 2012 I agree that Obama has been pretty good to the military. However, I think he uses them for political posturing and that's why he's not real popular with them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO News:U.S. Deaths in Afghanistan: Obama vs Bush "On July 7, 2011, U.S. troop deaths from the war in Afghanistan since President Obama took office reached 1,000. That means that nearly two-thirds of the U.S. fatalities in the war in Afghanistan have occurred during the Obama administration, which has managed the war for a mere quarter of its duration..."Full story: Just Foreign Policy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
