A 29 year old married father of two with a third on the way, Sgt. Lance Vogeler was killed in Afghanistan during his 12th tour!

LET'S HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!

CONGRESS PLAYS WITH THE PARTISAN IDEOLOGIES AS TO WHETHER TO EVEN PAY FOR THE WAR DEBTS!

 BILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOST IN IRAQ UNACCOUNTED FOR!

IN FACT, RUMSFELD TESTIFIED IN 2001, THAT FROM OCTOBER 2000-OCTOBER 2001 2.3 TRILLION  DOLLARS WAS UNACCOUNTED FOR BY THE PENTAGON THAT FISCAL YEAR!

THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN WEAPONS UNACCOUNTED FOR USED ON OUR OWN TROOPS AND NO ONE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

WHEN ARE THESE MILLIONAIRE CONGRESSMEN GOING TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR WAR WOUNDS, LIVES, TREASURE, SONS, HUSBANDS,DAUGHTERS, SISTERS, BROTHERS AND PARENTS WHO SACRIFICED?

Suicides are occuring at record highs according to the Department of VA. Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan are coming home with serious symptoms common to other war veterans. Some POLITICIANS are discussing going to war with Iran!

 We need to be aware of the costs of unending war!

 Politicians kids will never serve! They didn't serve then or now 12 tours!

Speaking of politicians.... ever wonder why no matter who you vote for... nothing changes? The new Congress did nothing for MST but did address PTSD.

 Did you know that if you "follow the money" half of our Congress is full of millionaires who can not relate to John  Q Public! Very few ever served a day in their golden lives .

I know we vets are used to suffering but don't you think when these hypocrits ask for sacrifice, they should not be among the top richest benefiting from our sacrifices? Where do these facts come from? The Congressional Wealth disclosure Study.

261 of our 535 members of Congress are millionaires, PLUS! In 2008 their top stocks were Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs,Pharmaceuticals, and healthcare and other banks! Were we going to have a depression? crash? recession? or just Congress with their hair on fire.

 Now they want us to keep on sacrificing and waiting and being patient.  ONE OF MY TRIGGERS IS STANDING IN LONG... SLOW LINES BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF BEING  IN THE ARMY WHERE ONE OF MY PERPS MADE ME STAND AT ATTENTION WHILE HE ABUSED ME.... AND THREATENED ME...... and TORTURED ME!

AS ONE CURRENT PROTESTER STATED, "OBEDIENCE IS BECOMING THE PROBLEM! WE WERE OBEDIENT AND WENT TO WAR AND GOT KILLED, WE WERE OBEDIENT AND SUFFERED POVERTY, STARVATION, STUPIDITY, AND CRUELTY.

"JAILS ARE FULL OF PETTY THIEVES WHILE GRAND THIEVES NOW RUN OUR BANKS," AND I MIGHT ADD OUR WALL STREET, GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS, AND JOBS MUCH OF OUR MILITARY USED TO DO! OUR WARTIME COMMISSION'S RECENT FINAL REPORT SHOWED UP TO $61 BILLION OF $205 BILLION SPENT ON PRIVATE CONTRACTORS(NOT TOTAL PENTAGON SPENDING) WAS LOST TO FRAUD AND WASTE.  OUR LAWMAKERS WANT TO DUMP THIS INFORMATION AND HIDE IT FROM JOHN PUBLIC FOR 20 YEARS SO WE WILL FORGET ABOUT IT LIKE WE DID THE VIETNAM WAR, OR DIE OFF, ETC.  UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION, NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE RECORDS! WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE DO WE SEEM TO HAVE IN OUR CONGRESS NOW!

IN 2001 A  DYNACORP EMPLOYEE WAS FOUND BY OUR CONGRESS TO HAVE $134 BILLION  IN HIS LUGGAGE OF CONTRACT MONEY. ANYONE WHO QUESTIONED WHAT WAS GOIING ON IN THE PENTAGON WAS 'REASSIGNED.' EVEN RETIRED VICE ADMIRAL JACK SHANAHAN TALKED ABOUT 48 BILLION IN 'LOOSE CHANGE' THAT COULD BE FOUND AROUND THE PENTAGON.

THIS YEAR IS THE FIRST YEAR EVER LEGISLATION HAS PASSED TO DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY OF PENTAGON SPENDING DESPITE OUR GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE TELLING CONGRESS YEAR AFTER YEAR THE PENTAGON BUDGET IS HIGH RISK FOR FRAUD,WASTE, AND ABUSE! WE WILL SEE IF IT HAPPENS!

IT IS TIME FOR THE PENTAGON TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THE WOUNDED AND PAY ITS WAR DEBTS TO THE VETERANS WHO SUFFER. NOW IS THE TIME TO PAY THE PIPER FOR THE HUNGER FOR WAR AND GREED BY CORPORATE CONTRACTORS!

FDR TOLD US OWNERSHIP OF GOVERNMENT BY A GROUP OR INDIVIDUALS WAS FASCISM AND THAT IF WE PEOPLE TOLERATE THE GROWTH OF POWER OF THE PRIVATE TO THE POINT IT BECOMES STRONGER THAN OUR DEMOCRATIC STATE THE LIBERTY WE FOUGHT FOR IS OVER! SHAME ON US!

. LET US NOT KEEP STANDING IN LINE ! GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
