Veterans Category in Yahoo! Answers!?

Another person here in Yahoo suggested that we have YA! include a seperate section for Veterans. There's one for the military, which is great, but for the massive percentage of Veterans seeking advise on disability, education, etc - we would like to see this category added!!

Please STAR this question is you are in agreement!

Update:

geez, I'm sorry...the above should read "IF you are in agreement"....

it's too early in the morning lol!

    I agree and thanks for helping me promote this idea. I have contacted Yahoo powers that be and await their answer.

    The military section is great, but there are too many questions asked over a short period of time, so rather than search all questions other than those affecting veterans, I felt it would simplify things by having a separate section.

    And most of the ?'s on military are repeated over and over i.e. why are we in Iraq, which branch is best, which one should I join cause i like shooting etc etc.

    P.S. too bad I didn't think of the "staring" system.

    I'll 22nd that motion. It will be a benefit because since I do not have time to go through all the open questions hunting for a credible question that I am qualified to answer. I have to keep an active search for PTSD and "Post traumatic stress", in order to participate. With a new category of question I would probably see a lot more I am interested in. Good Work Sarge!

    Yeah I would like to see that as well. I am sure most other veterans will also like having a separate section for veterans.

    yeah..i agree......the veterans have their different problems...its different from the youngsters.but sometimes we youngsters can give much better advice ............so do get a separate section.......

    and may good veterans get included.ya u people need a lot of privacy and own kind of support only a veteran can provide....

    thumbs up for this

    Excellent idea! But you know we would still get some off base people posting in it. But I am behind the idea.
