President Obama basically shafting our veterans as Illegal Beaners are given FREE EVERYTHING - Denial of VA Benefits to Veterans Reaches Highest Rate in 70 Years
By Dave Philipps, New York Times
Joshua Bunn was a rifleman in one of the bloodiest valleys in Afghanistan, where his infantry unit killed hundreds of enemy fighters and lost more comrades than any other battalion in the Marine Corps in 2009.
“We were so far out in Taliban country we rarely got resupply,” Bunn, 27, said in an interview from his apartment in Jonesboro, Arkansas. “We just got rockets and small-arms fire every day.”
After deployment, Bunn, suicidal and haunted by nightmares, went absent without leave. The Marine Corps charged him with misconduct and gave him an other-than-honorable discharge.
As a consequence, the Department of Veterans Affairs does not technically consider Bunn a veteran and has denied him permanent health care, disability pay and job training intended to ease his return to civilian life. According to a new report (pdf), he is one of a growing number of veterans ruled ineligible for benefits because of less-than-honorable discharges.
