The Real 'Support the Troops' by Business and Country

Below is just one more example of the non meanings of the meme's and symbols, especially from the halls of congress the representatives of the people, the American public pride themselves with using, here's another and another and another, and demanding those that do are more 'patriotic' then others among them! This has been unchanging since Korea, and really apparent after ours Vietnam then Gulf War I, while sending others into our wars in other countries and then ignoring when they return with the cycle restarting with the next and the one after that!

No Revenues = No Sacrifice = No Support for the Soldiers and Veterans

Now a decade long and counting of none nor demand for same added to the previous decades!!

Of their wars of choice they rubber stamped, with the blessings of their supporters, Total Costs on the Credit Card and the coming generations to pay for, while reaping the wealth from the private investments, and corporate compensations, in same!!

"You walk into one of our rooms where ... decisions are being made about disabilities for veterans (and) see individuals sitting at a desk with stacks of paper that go up halfway to the ceiling. And as they finish one pile, another pile comes in," - U.S.V.A. Secretary Gen. Eric Shinseki, Feb. 10, 2009

Banks May Have Illegally Foreclosed On 5,000 Members Of The Military

Nov 29, 2011 - For months, major banks have been dealing with the fallout of the “robo-signing” scandal, following reports that the banks were improperly foreclosing on homeowners and, in many instances, falsifying paperwork that they were submitting to courts. Banks have been forced to go back and re-examine foreclosures to ensure that homeowners did not lose their homes unlawfully.

In the latest episode of this mess, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has found that banks — including Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup — may have improperly foreclosed on up to 5,000 active members of the military:

Ten leading US lenders may have unlawfully foreclosed on the mortgages of nearly 5,000 active-duty members of the US military in recent years, according to data released by a federal regulator. [...] The data released by the OCC are based on estimates prepared by lenders and their consultants. BofA said it is reviewing 2,400 foreclosures involving active-duty military families to see if they were conducted properly. Wells Fargo is reviewing 870 foreclosures and Citigroup is looking at 700 cases. Also under review are 575 foreclosures at OneWest, formerly known as IndyMac; 87 at HSBC; 80 at US Bancorp; 56 at Aurora, formerly known as Lehman Brothers Bank; 25 at MetLife; six at Sovereign; and three at EverBank.

Back in April, JPMorgan Chase, which was not one of the 10 banks that the OCC examined, agreed to a $56 million settlement over allegations that it had overcharged members of the military on their mortgages. Chase Bank has even auctioned off the home of a military member the very day that he returned from Iraq. Two other mortgage servicers agreed in May to settle charges of improperly foreclosing on servicemembers. read more>>>
