Situation Report
The following is an op-ed written by John Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush.
It's no secret our country has failed its wounded veterans, with tales of denied care, wait times, and total incompetence run amok. But the solution is simple: Bomb Iran.
Where we bomb does not matter. Whether we turn Bander Abbas into Dresden or drop a few Tomahawks in the desert, we will show the world our commitment to the men and women who were injured while fighting for our country. Bombing runs will increase the VA’s budget, create a more streamlined system, and give our veterans the care they deserve. It will also fix our public schools.
