There is an alarming trend in denial of Gulf War Illness related claims by the Veteran Administration. Eighty percent of Golf War Illness claims have been denied a service related connection. From Vietnam to Persian Gulf veterans face the same challenge to gain benefits from the suffering of an undiagnosed illness. Why is our government letting down our veterans, when they should be treated with more respect?

There's a problem arising among the millennial generation, a generation that values art and culture. But it's beginning to take a turn, it doesn't like any form of authoritarian figure, whether it be from the left or right. These are the people who stand up against false grievances and over exaggerated remarks towards race, color, and gender.

This is completely true, this generation has been so manipulated by the media, which they have depended on so fiercely as of late, that they will listen to anything they hear, and automatically believe they are experts in the field. People need to educate themselves, and grow up, and fast, because a generation of socialist, social justice warriors, that are uneducated, and have a twisted sense of justice have risen.

Many states are fighting to lower the drinking age to 18. State officials contend that if you are old enough to fight in a war you are old enough to drink. Versions of the lower drinking age bill vary from state to state, some only including military personnel, some including all citizens aged 18 and up.

I used to love watching their show on discovery channel. I agree they do risk lives every time they go out to stop the Japanese whalers. I do feel that the conservation of whales is important to our environment. I went whale watching in San Diego over the summer and they are magnification animals.

Everyone knows about unmanned aircraft being used overseas in the wars, but some people here at home might be starting to use them, if they haven't already. Obama has already forbid the use of armed drones over US soil, but that doesn't mean they can't be used for surveillance of businesses, residences, or citizens themselves
