Here's a brief story about the Navy SEAL who took down Bin Laden.
He is now out of the service and back in civilian life. No health care, no job, wondering how long he can last before he's homeless to boot.
There's not a candidate for political office anywhere in America who doesn't lard up every speech with platitudes about "our brave men and women in uniform."
Talk is cheap. After giving his country sixteen of the best years of his life, this guy should not have to worry about scrabbling for a job or being screwed over by private health insurers, and he sure as hell shouldn't have to worry about ending up living in the street.
America can do better.
