Veterans Pay Twice: Once at War and Once at Home

Veterans Pay Twice: Once at War and Once at Home
(The Student Operated Press; Fred Rendon, August 21, 2009)

"In a town close to Las Vegas a Veteran named Pat also a Veteran suffering from PTSD. Somehow Pat got into a problem and shot at a policeman and so the wrath of the city came down on Pat. He is being treated like a hardened criminal with a lengthy record when this is his very first offense. I am well aware of the implications of shooting a police officer. I have had three brothers who were policemen and I have a great deal of respect for the police and I write about them and how brave they are for doing the job they do.
