On right-wing groups recruiting veterans

So the DHS said that veterans are ripe for recruitment by right-wing groups, including terrorists. This is a fact. Unfortunately, some veterans are offended, and even more talking heads are upset. The latter is ridiculous.

(The VFW was fine with the report, but the American Legion was offended.)

McCain demanded an apology, which confirms previous evidence that he has become quite partisan. Napolitano apologized, which was not necessary, but nice.

The report can be drawn upon to justify more and better services for returning veterans, which would be a welcome change from how thing have/had been operating. Do you want to know what really offends veterans, and could turn them against their own country? When they are not given proper gear overseas, then put in hospital rooms with mold and rats. Additionally, if you really want to piss off veterans, underfund post-traumatic stress disorder tests and treatment, which has been the status quo. These things are more offensive to most veterans than a factual security report.

Ok, back to work.
