It was a moral watershed for America that most of us did not see. Team Greed probably got bonuses.
But their actions were and are criminal.
Those responsible are acting under color of law and authority to defraud. Those benefiting are numerous. The corporations who clamored for contracts; the lobbyists who sold the changes to Congress; the political parties who accepted bribes (donations) from the eager corporations. Those in Congress, the White House, and those they hired or appointed also share blame.
Because of this we need to take action.
This chain of causality must be documented. Acts and Facts need to be registered online for all to see. The methods used to defraud, from the 'Wait to Death Strategy' to the 'Redefine your Condition,' to all the other nasty little tricks used on veterans who are already worried and afraid need to be given the faces of those who experienced them. We need to tell the stories of veterans while at the same time showing the outline of the profit strategy that caused them to take place.
That is one step.
At the same time we need to understand why this is clearly illegal.
You cannot ask anyone to sign a contract like the one they now assert exists for military service. The power of the two parties is too unequal; there is no recourse and that is intentional. Most of those signing, enlisting, could not have gotten a credit card. They could not make a valid contract of this kind.
