I just posted the first cut in the open thread and decided to expand it into showing Exactly who cares about those who serve this Country, showing so even before the Oath of Office was given and continued throughout so far, especially in it's wars of choice dumped into his lap, and because of the Real Key to that Countries Strong National Defense.
Think how they've gone after the education system we once had and they've almost ruined!

Romney idea to open health networks to vets gets attention
Sept. 8, 2012 - Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has proposed opening military Tricare networks of civilian health care providers to veterans who can’t get timely mental health care from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Tricare networks currently exist to provide health care to military personnel and retirees, their families and survivors. Two days after Romney’s pledge, President Barack Obama signed an executive order with several new initiatives to improve access to mental health care services for veterans, service members and their families.
One directs Veterans Affairs and the Department of Health and Human Services to establish at least 15 pilot programs involving community-based health providers to expand mental health services in areas not well-served by the VA. Another establishes an interagency task force on military and veterans’ mental health co-chaired by the VA, the Department of Defense and HHS. read more>>>

Admiral: Obama’s Foreign Policy ‘Worthy’ Of Veterans
Admiral John B. Nathman at the 2012 Democratic National Convention
September 6, 2012 - Retired Admiral John B. Nathman said at the Democratic convention on Thursday that the Obama administration has enacted a foreign policy "worthy" of members of the military.
"For every branch of the service, for those in civilian clothes or the uniform, President Obama gives us a foreign policy worthy of the men and women on this stage, to ensure that wherever they serve, their uniform and dedication is respected, and that their service makes a difference for America," he said.
Nathman also said the Obama administration has invested in the Veterans Administration to help troops returning home. read more>>>
And to answer Elizabeth Warrens question, 'Who Are You Fighting For?', and related to the issues of the Military, their Families as well as Veterans young and old, there's only one branch of Government, Federal and States, who have been consistently fighting for, this Administration it's Cabinet Secretaries as well as those very close to. With everything else that was dumped into these last four years from the previous eight years, on the same issues only the 110th and 111th Congresses were finally starting to correct what wasn't done as we sent troops into two more wars of choice, they've been able to accomplish plenty even with the still decades long underfunded Veterans Administration and the obstruction on all issues from Congress.

Jill Biden's Democratic National Convention speech
September 6, 2012 - What a night! What a crowd! Thank you, Angie—I'm so proud of you and how far you've come. I'm so proud to stand before you tonight not only as the wife of our vice president, but as a full-time teacher and a military mom. I'm here for our son, Beau, and for all of our troops, veterans and military families.
Four years ago, Beau stood on this stage to introduce his father, and soon afterward, he deployed to Iraq for a year with the Delaware Army National Guard. Tonight, thanks to the leadership of President Obama and my husband Joe, the war in Iraq is over.
I'm also here tonight for my students—students like Angie—who work so hard to create a better life for themselves and their families. I've been a teacher for more than 30 years, and to this day, I continue to teach full time at a community college in northern Virginia.
Not long after Joe was elected vice president, people started questioning whether I could keep teaching. Not Joe. He was there, standing by my side, saying, "Of course you should. It's who you are, Jill." For me, being a teacher isn't just what I do—it's who I am. These issues are personal to me. And for the more than 37 years I've known Joe, I've seen firsthand just how personal they are to him, too. read more>>>
But this election is not only about who's to sit in the White House, we'll Veterans will lose if the Romney is elected, it's about who Represents You in the Congress, Senate and House as well as in the State Legislatures, some of whom were cutting their Veterans Budgets themselves as these two wars were waged and continue to underfund just like Washington does!
