Zero has shown nothing but contempt for America and all decisions have been purposeful for the destruction of it's position on the global stage.

Anyone else not wonder what he was discussing with Russia during the hot mike moments?

A dominant and expanding Russia would further his purpose of destruction.


Heard from someone in the Navy last night that Zero has already started downsizing the military. He cut the Gulf battalions by a 1/3rd. Gave the individuals dismissed on honorable discharge a 1 WEEK notice! Many families are in financial turmoil and we are just that much weaker militarily.

I was hoping to make it to November. I don't know that we are going to. I think he see's that he's about to lose the senate and end up in serious trouble. The chess match at home has just amplified.

Yes Steve, this young family was already having tough times financially and had enough going on in other ways. They chose military to have some stability and then this punk law breaking SOW does this to them and so many others after what they've gave.


I think I'm not the only one wondering if this is what flexibility looks like-

you might want to let them know they can apply for unemployment without waiting the normal two weeks as required in most states..



If you are a servicemember separating from active duty you may qualify for unemployment compensation if you are unable to find a new job. The Unemployment Compensation for Ex-service members (UCX) program provides benefits for eligible ex-military personnel. The program is administered by the States as agents of the Federal government. You are eligible if:

You were on active duty with a branch of the U.S. military, you may be entitled to benefits based on that service.

You must have been separated under honorable conditions.

There is no payroll deduction from your wages for unemployment insurance protection. Benefits are paid for by the various branches of the military.

Benefits are paid for by the various branches of the military.

that way they can be productive members of our society and pilosi will be proud of them..

New GI Bill Program for Unemployed Military Veterans

If you are an unemployed veteran, you may be eligible for a new GI Bill program specifically designed for unemployed veterans age 35-60. The good news is this program is open to eligible veterans regardless of whether or not they still have remaining GI Bill eligibility (MGIB benefits typically expire 10 years after a veteran’s separation date).

The VOW to Hire Heroes Act of 2011 was recently passed, which offers up to 12 months of education and training at the full-time active duty Montgomery GI Bill rate. Training is available to eligible veterans for VA Approved education and training programs at a community college or technical school. Benefits must be used toward an Associate’s Degree, qualified certification, or a non-college degree in a high demand field (examples include, information technology, trucking, certain medical occupations, and more).
http://themilitarywallet.com/vow-to-hire-heroes-act-gi-bill-for-unemployed-veterans/

Here are a sampling of benefits which will help veterans (we will cover these in more depth below):

Up to 1-year of additional Montgomery GI Bill benefits to qualify for jobs in high-demand sectors
Up to 1-year of additional VA Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment benefits for disabled veterans.
Quicker access to veterans preference rating for civil service jobs.
Improvements to the Transition Assistance Program (TAP)
Military skills translation – the Department of Labor is tasked to come up with better ways to translate military skills into the civilian sector.
most these programs provide a stipend.. it isn't much.. but it sure makes helps..

VA vocational rehab is one of the best programs I have ever seen ... they work hard to get you trained.. and cover everything from CDL,s to advanced degrees to pilots licenses.. .

There are many Beginning Farmer Programs for Military Veterans listed on the internet that offer a variety of benefits and trainings in agriculture for veterans.

For example, a veteran can obtain a VA loan to purchase a farm if the veteran intends to live in a home on the farm and can show how the farm will turn a profit.

The Farmers Home Administration shows preference to veterans when financing farm operations.
