September 19, 2012, 11:56pm (report abuse)I can't believe that this bill didn't pass I know what its like when you come home after serving your tour of duty for our country it was hard to find a job in 1969 & things here were a mess then too these vets of today need all the help that they can get after you sent them to wars. The best thing for our country is if you voted no on this vets job skills act is to quit your job imediately & quit wasting tax payer dollars by doing nothing, what is it costing the tax payers to repeal the health care act again for the 38th time what a joke. If you people worked for my company you would be showed the door long time ago I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO SEE YOU NO VOTERS DON'T GET REELECTED.
