Just a few days ago, Senate rejected a Veterans Affairs bill which would have extended benefits for veterans. It was a Democratic bill which failed to pass because it lacked Republican support.
Quote:
A broad Department of Veterans Affairs bill that would have expanded benefits for former service members and repealed a military pension cut for future troops was rejected in the Senate on Thursday... The legislation called for expanding several veterans benefits, including dental and medical care, educational assistance and the caretaker stipends that currently apply only to post-Sept. 11 veterans. It also required the repeal of a recent cut to the cost-of-living adjustments for future military retirees and would have allowed VA to open 27 new health facilities.

Obviously, Republicans were following the Will of God on this one. It is one thing to start new wars here and there, and it is something completely different having to keep supporting useless cripples produced by these wars. The reason why some veterans are crippled, is because they did not have faith in God. True Christian™ soldiers never get hurt (and obviously, never suffer from such imaginary illnesses as PTSD), because God is their shield:
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
It is clear that some atheist scum who got hurt in Afghanistan or Iraq, doesn't deserve any taxpayer support. Rather, these heathens should repent, and ask Jesus for help. Jesus can heal them (grow their limbs back or whatever they need):
Matthew 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
Once they have their faith in Jesus, He will provide for them:
Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
