Comments on: DOJ: Fraudclosure – Service Members to Receive $39 Million, About $125K Each, for Violations of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act https://4closurefraud.org/2013/04/05/doj-fraudclosure-service-members-to-receive-39-million-or-about-125k-each-for-violations-of-the-servicemembers-civil-relief-act/ - Fighting Foreclosure Fraud BY SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:35:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.7 By: greywolf62 https://4closurefraud.org/2013/04/05/doj-fraudclosure-service-members-to-receive-39-million-or-about-125k-each-for-violations-of-the-servicemembers-civil-relief-act/#comment-409640 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:35:40 +0000 https://4closurefraud.org/?p=58684#comment-409640 I applaud the DOJ. The reality is that less than 8% of all people alive have ever served in the military — that includes the active and retired people. Less than 8% of the people have volunteered to defend our way of life, (irrespective of whether or not you agree with it, by virtue of you living in here, you receive some benefit) and this segment of the population is not rewarded after service:

Less likely to find employment
Average lower salary than comparable peers
More likely to be homeless

This segment of the population was told that while they were being sent overseas to “protect American interests”, the DOJ would be protecting their interests. That didn’t happen. Instead, this segment saw their families kicked out in the streets.

How much luck will we have with future recruits if they know they won’t receive education, housing, medical care and that their families will be kicked out on the streets as soon as they deploy?

So, for those of you who feel you deserve the same protections as people who actually placed their lives on the line to defend your freedom, I just shake my head sadly. Continue to feel you are entitled to everything while doing so very little and continue to wonder why no one wants to help you.

But, in the same breath it is the ones back home that work in the factories and invest in this country whose results from such manufacturing and trade are the key components to keeping our military going forward. During the last world war, it was the women and children and other family members back home that were praised as well as the men/women in uniform. Somehow, that we are ‘joined’ together seems to have disappeared from reality. If everyone were to join the forces, who would be left at home to keep things going? There would be the elderly, the sick, the mentally incapable, those incapacitated in one way or another and most of these people are not a working class but more or less living on social security, disability or some other form of government assistance. It is the working class that keeps this country moving and somehow the credit should be shared EQUALLY. Just my opinion and just sayin…….

I applaud the successful efforts of the DOJ on behalf of our brave servicemen & women. Good job, they deserve that & soo much more. But, was I naïve to assume that the rest of us, mere tax paying, civilian, citizens were being as vigorously defended by the same government? My family didn’t have on base housing to fall back on when we lost our home – we were just homeless. I may have chosen a different way to defend my country, I chose college & healthcare, spending my career at the bedside of our country’s elderly and infirm. Somehow I got the impression that that was a significant contribution, an honorable way to contribute to our society. Until now I foolishly thought that the idea of our nation was that we were all necessary parts to make the whole.
Now though we learn that for some of us, our rights really count & for the rest not so much. I’m just curious when did the DOJ only represent a select few of our citizens, leaving the rest of us to just be greatful for what crumbs we may get & shut up. What a kick in the teeth.

But I dont understand why all Americans are not protected by CPA and Deed of Trust law and get decent compensation also. Thank goodness the military are getting some help.
