Now the Democrats are coming up with ways to take away gun from our Veterans. This makes me sick!
Dianne Feinstein: "All vets are mentally ill in some way and government should prevent them from owning firearms."
Yep, - she really said it on Thursday in a meeting in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee...
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reservist – is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America,” for an amount of “up to and including my life.” That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it .

Well thank God and lets send that woman a bouquet of flowers as a big thank you.
I've been waiting YEARS for the more extreme anti-America crowd to just drop the crap and come right out to say what she just did. It's not new, different or even creative. It's been said in cocktail parties and living rooms by one segment of society for more years than I've been around to listen to it personally.
It's nice to have all this on the table and in plain view for a change..so finally..we all know where the other world views REALLY stand on what they TRULY believe. Not what they think they "should believe" according to polls and based entirely around public consumption. She's in her 80's with a term set to run 2 years past Obama's departure. She's solid and has no worries....so it's truth time by the sound of it.
It's about time.

I would be mentally ill to if I was drafted into the army

I think you may have made a slight mistake with your meaning of Veteran.
Perhaps you meant to say that " A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reservist – is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “Their country".
I am extremely proud to say I am a female Veteran....of the UK
I would also say that I am in no way mentally ill....though I can be a little crazy sometimes

So much ignorance in this thread so many members lost credibility. Good job OP for the bait, people fell for it with the title alone, which does not even relate to article.

Why is it that all the gulf war, Iraq and Afghanistan vets are "mentally ill"
And yet the WW2 vets came home and started businesses and went to school and built this post WW2 country?
What did they give the vets that made them so ill, as opposed to the others?
What's in those vaccines that the vets were all required to take?
