I can see that none of you understand that the VA is failing our Veterans in their treatment. I can see that none of you appreciate the fact that Veterans put their lives on the line for our country, and they are coming home totally messed up. It doesn't matter what your opinion war is, these individuals who serve our country ARE different than the career criminal and they DO deserve special consideration in a court of law. If you don't think so - go spend some time in IRAQ, you'll have a different opinion when you return. These courageous men and women ARE DIFFERENT than those of you who sit on your couch and exercise your right to run your mouth about whatever it is......a right that our VETERANS fought to give you. So zip it, until you have the guts to put on a uniform and fight for this country - just zip it.

Let's see. Billy is a vet and is a bit whacked because of his stressors in the military.

Omar is not a vet and is stressed because of his own, post traumatic stress disorder due to an unfortunate upbringing in the 'hood.

Billy gets special treatment. Omar gets the harshest treatment even though their transgressions are similar.

Flush Rimjob and the AM radio Fox "News" idiots must love this arrangement. Especially because Flush and Fox and W. Bush are white and never went to war.

Can the ACLU save us?

extended to everyone? How about "spreading it around?"
Huh, Barbara??? How many more government union employees is this going to create,you double dipping,
government employee? HUH?

Vet wrote on April 29, 2009 03:27 PM: We have multiple justice systems already. But if the real purpose behind each system is rehabilitation and reentry into society, then, yes, we owe these folks more than the average meth addict. Put the amazing thing is, these vets won't ask for it. So, if the legislature actually does something today that helps its citizens, and a significant portion are active duty or veterans, then I stand up and appauld those people willing to help.

Marcus wrote on April 29, 2009 02:20 PM: The constitution must be wet with tears. If things weren't bad enough, now we have multiple justice systems. One for you. Another for vets. And a special third one for criminal politicians, torturers, and the financial elite where there's no punishments at all.

Garbage wrote on April 29, 2009 01:10 PM: Doesn't matter. There are too many cops abusing Vets and too many corrupt judges abusing their rights.

This wouldn't be needed if this State wern't so abusive and corrupt. Someone needs to control these young cops and stop them from violating peoples rights, vets included.

Nevada is a "POLICE STATE" with corrupt judges siding with the cops.

Ask yourself, Who is the real TERRORIST in the country? Not the vets who put their lives on the line to protect you. Its the cops and cudges that are terrorizing you, your freedom and way of life..

And, you don't even have to be a criminals to get abused.

The vets need to unite and fight another war. The war against the corrupt cops and judges. Support the US Constitution and what this counrty stands for.

Stop harrassing the vets in the first place and you wouldn't need this.
