Triple Amputee Veteran Brian Kolfage Blasts Obama in Powerful Memorial Day Letter: You were Raised to Hate America

Senior Airman and veteran Brian Kolfage, Jr. is the epitome of what a man who has taken his oath seriously is about. After becoming the most severely wounded Airman in US history, Kolfage fought back against the odds to regain his life, marry his bride and continue to be a voice among veterans against the tyranny we see taking place under the Obama administration. In a powerful Memorial Day letter, Kolfage took time to blast Obama writing, "Your disdain for America and her greatness has never been a secret. You were raised to hate the 'American Empire' and were taught that the American military is the enemy."
Here's Kolfage's letter in its entirety, via his Facebook page.



President Obama,

On this Memorial Day I can’t help but think of the many veterans who have given their lives to protect the freedoms that we all enjoy today, and quite frankly one that so many Americans take for granted. As you’re playing your 165th round of golf this weekend you can count on our warriors to protect you and to protect this great nation.
From the Civil War to the wars in the deserts of the Middle East, our brave men and women have given their lives for freedoms that can only be found in America. Generations of selfless Americans have stepped up to fight for a cause greater than themselves. Freedom is never free, and the price of our freedom has been paid with the blood of our finest Americans. Your daughters have been fortunate enough to reap the freedoms that so many have sacrificed their lives for. Without these heroes you would have never have had the opportunity to become the President of this great nation.

Sadly, the men and women who have volunteered to fight the in the most extreme conditions in the world are coming back only to find themselves engaged in a new war at home. They have now found themselves in a war with your incompetent administration, who’s scandal ridden legacy has finally hit an all-time low. I can’t help but feel the deepest disgust for the pain you and your administration have caused the families who have lost their heroes battling your war against our veterans back home. I can’t think of more shameless way to for this country to dishonor its veterans. And sadly, it’s the lack of your leadership and accountability that lead to these failures.

These men and women who bravely fought in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf Wars have been forced to rely on your useless bureaucratic employees for their health care. These federal employees disrespected these men and women and the sacrifices they have made in the worst imaginable way. They ignored their pleas for help and in many cases left them to die in favor of hefty government bonuses for exceptional performance. We all know you and your regime doesn't give a damn about these heroes. Your disdain for America and her greatness has never been a secret. You were raised to hate the “American Empire” and were taught that the American military is the enemy. It was easier for you to just ignore the Veteran Affairs crisis as you crisscrossed America fundraising for your fellow Democrats.

I remember candidate Obama promising to overhaul the VA and reduce the backlog. You claimed that America’s support for its veterans is obvious by the way we treat our vets. You really nailed that one didn't you? Just like you were going to fix Detroit or fix foreign policy. Your high school like approach to solving complex issues can’t be fixed by tweeting hashtags with propaganda to people who want to kill us. Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see you’re unfit to lead our nation, let alone act as our Commander In Chief. What our country needs now, more than ever is real leadership, someone who doesn't wait for a crisis, but is able to foresee an issue and deal with it before it happens. Unfortunately for America, you've been too busy campaigning and don’t have time to deal with the health care crisis of our veterans. The only thing you seem to care about is your own radical agenda, and now our vets are paying for your negligence with their lives.

As I sit here typing this out I’m dealing with my own VA nightmare which involves the Phoenix VA. I have given 3 limbs for this country, but apparently that is not enough. A “clerical error” made by a VA employee has resulted in nearly a year of abuse and mismanagement of my case. In other words, the VA is stealing over $7000 from my disability compensation that I earned when I lost 3 of my limbs for our country.
On this Memorial Day, as I battle your incompetent bureaucrats my family would like to thank you for once again failing our veterans. We can’t help but wonder about the disastrous socialized medicine program that we will surely be dealing with if ObamaCare is allowed to be fully implemented. If our incompetent VA cannot handle government healthcare for a fraction of our population, who would be foolish enough to believe a massive health care system designed to provide health care for all American’s would be any different? You can’t even find someone to build a competent website to work for your socialized medicine program when you had your name attached to it, so why would you care about our veterans when you could so easily push the blame off on someone else?
You have not only failed our veterans, you have failed America in every way imaginable. You have purposely divided us by race, political parties, and socioeconomic status in order to push a radical agenda on America that can only be passed when you have successfully divided all Americans. Your entire administration is incompetent and you have set America on a path for certain failure.

So, on this Memorial Day, as we honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, I’d like to thank you, our Commander In Chief for not even caring enough to provide us with quality health care.

This man is a crazy wing nut and feels because he has been maimed, his words should be given more credence than others. It's obvious he doesn't know what's going on in the news. He's probably being paid to write this, so that people like the OP would believe this and it would substantiate their feelings. He probably loves war, this president doesn't. Of course, I will get bashed for calling him out like I have. He's a wacko, if you want to respect him or his words, go ahead. I see nothing in him respectable. Isn't it nice we can all have opinions. His just get published.

Not too long ago I saw you post a "can't we all get along" line. Again, you refer to this guy as a "crazy wing nut" and "wacko". what happened to the "lets stop the name calling" line you wrote? Hypocrite.

You don't know what you are talking about either with regard to the VA. The news is wrong also. This is not the Presidents fault. When Clinton was in charge, the people at the VA were buying their own supplies due to his budget cuts. Despite Obama's obvious faults he has done a lot to improve health delivery for the veterans. I totally disagree with all most all of the Presidents policies and his constant disrespect for the law but he has been a friend to the VA.

Lacking anything else to bitch about the press has taken the actions of a few and is using it to smear the entire VA system while trying to pin it on the President. After catching a bullet in the throat in Viet Nam I have been tied to the VA system since 1965. People work at the VA. Most of them are good, decent people trying to help our vets. A great many of them are volunteers trying to help. Most of the doctors are volunteers giving back to the communities they live in. However, some are bad administrators, some are bad organizers, and some are just in it for the money they make at the top of the chain. For the most part the VA provides good, decent care. It is unfair to label the entire system as bad because of the actions of a few. It is despicable to label an amputee a "crazy wing nut" because you disagree with his view point.

Don't attack people over their point of view on something you have no understanding of.

Djen, your credibility just dropped another 2 or 3 notches…I thought you had already hit bottom but this hypocrisy proved me wrong again...

dljen Loc: Central PA

I have my opinion and you have yours. That doesn't make either one correct...

I still think he is an idiot.

wilpharm Loc: Oklahoma

a triple amputee idiot??? You pick your own fights pretty well...

Better stop drinking the kool aid, it is making you blind. BTW, what have you lost in sevice to this country?

phcaan Loc: Willow Springs, MO

Yes but you think Obama is wonderful, so where does that put your credibility?

dljen Loc: Central PA

Did you see his FB page? He's sickening. Because he chose to be in the military, went over there knowing what could happen, and got blown up, he is some almighty god to some. I think his opinions are looney. No one put a gun up to his head to go over there, that was a choice. He adores the fame he's getting now.
