Rachel Maddow talked with Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth, member of the Armed Services Committee and Iraq War Veteran, about the problems in the United States with delivering promised benefits to war veterans.
Noting she was “pissed” over the way veterans have been treated in this country upon returning home, an incensed Rachel Maddow talked about the “special place in hell” for individuals who exploit American efforts to assist service men and women.
Noting the recent resignation of Florida Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carrol after one of her public relations firm’s clients was revealed to have been involved in a scam to steal donations intended for veterans and briefly discussing an obviously incensed Maddow went on to state:
“We want to do right by our veterans. We want to make sure that they and their families have what they need. We want to make sure that when they are promised things as a condition of signing up that those promises are kept. When so help me God the low life grifters among us want to exploit the way we feel about wanting to do right by our veterans… but then divert it so veterans do not actually get helped, really what we need in those cases is a special place in hell so we can cram those people into it.”
