#2 "According to the VA, combat-injured veterans do get a higher priority rating for care, but that rating only impacts whether a veteran has to pay any co-pays or not. "

I think this is wrong. The issue is whether the disability is considered "service connected". I have a service connected disability because my disease came up while I was in the Navy. No co-pay.

For her not to understand the term "service connected" is ignorance on her part. Saying what she did to that veteran was wrong. She should publicly apologize.

#3 Seemed pretty benign, as political mis-speaks go. And I'm willing to cut a double amputee combat vet a lot of slack.

#4 AS a woman and a latina, she's way further up in line than me anyway.
I've learned to live as a second class citizen, being a white male, since I started looking for work some months ago.

Sorry Glenmore, she's Chicagoland trouble. Big ambition and big trouble.
