Sen. Coburn betrays American military

Sen. Tom Coburn is betraying American military forces currently dying and suffering in Iraq and Afghanistan.For some reason, he easily and readily votes to send our brave men and women into harm's way. But if they are lucky enough to come back, they will see no assistance from him. He is personally holding up a bill that would shoulder some of the burden of recovery from profound physical and emotional injuries.
Did he ever serve in a war? In the military? Doesn't he care about these brave sacrifices made every day, every hour while he sits comfortably in D.C. enjoying the privileges won for him by the blood of Americans past?
Apparently not.
