From David's Desk

I’m only a so, so Bill O’Reilly fan but I must say he does do his homework. That doesn’t mean one has to agree with everything he says but a current issue is John Edwards was on Letterman’s Show and Edwards spouted incorrect figures and problems with vets. Then Letterman called O’Reilly a liar. In both cases neither Edwards or Letterman knew or know what they are talking about, O’Reilly did, does and brought out the facts.

It is my opinion that John Edwards was using an issue he really didn’t know about to try and gain some kind of attention using our military veterans. And, Letterman is just a fool.

Radio Sandy Springs does as much as we can to support our veterans and today’s military which I think is the greatest ever. Are there problems in the VA, yes but one has to understand that some of, if not many of, the problems are with the veterans themselves. There is NO perfect system and our government and all the bull that’s within can’t fix everything but, it is there and can be used. I smoked and until I personally decided to quit, it wasn’t going to happen and until the vet takes the first step the VA can’t help! How in the world can the VA go out, look for and find every homeless vet and give them a bed each night? Come on folks, lets think this through.

Like so many other things in our country it is easy to find fault and criticize but our system is so much better than any others how about those with influence and national TV shows picking up the idea of helping instead of trying to get laughs off their own stupidity!
