LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Our veterans deserve better treatment

The story in Monday’s Las Vegas Sun about the event for our homeless veterans, “Men’s stories unfold amid act of kindness,” really touched my heart. Why is it we (our government) send millions of dollars to help countries around the world but have forgotten our veterans who need help here at home?

Besides, I am not so sure most of the money we give to supposedly help poor people in other countries doesn’t go into the private bank accounts of the politicians of those countries. Those people are still poor and our veterans are still given substandard assistance at home.

We don’t even pay our military decent salaries for putting them in harm’s way. You can be sure all those government workers in Ohio have better pay and benefits than our military personnel!

Common sense and intelligence seem to be lacking in our government budget departments on all levels.
