All warfare is a large scale armed robbery. These men have gone to Iraq and to other robberys because they can make more money by killing people who own oil. They would be better off by staying home and making me a new kitchen table. Even if the pay is not as good. Now they cry; "oh, I've been hurt by the people that I have been paid to kill". Mabe the armchair thugs who sent these dummies on their fool's errand will pay them and care for them.

I was also injured in Iraq (Twice) and now find myself unable to pay any bills that I have. Winter is coming on and the utilities will be cut off soon, have not much food left, and will soon be evicted from my home, lose my car and have my cell phone service shut off because AIG/AIU can do this to US/INJURED CONTRACTORS. We are up against a hugh corporate organization that as part of their makeup - offeres courses on RISK MANAGEMENT, in other words, ways to deny our ligitimate, medically documented, war related injuries. Each and every state in this country has these annual group conferences, where they teach each other the various techniques in STALLING, DELAYING, AND DENYING our benefits, to the point of many of us losing everything. I will soon lose it all and be literally homeless with no shelter, no food, no means to phone my lawyers in Houston or anyone else, lose things that belonged to my late parents, all my pictures, - EVERYTHING, while the insurance company EXECUTIVES are cozy and warm in their mansions, eating the healthest of diets, driving to the golf course, many who have children make certain that their children or spouse have the finest that life has to offer - ON THE BACKS, LIVES OF INJURED WAR-TIME CIVILIAN CONTRACTORS.
