(CNSNews.com) - A syndicated television talk show was less than receptive to positive comments about the American government's response to veterans' needs, according to an Iraq war veteran who was a guest on the show.
According to Keli Frasier, an Army Reservist who served 11 months in Iraq, Montel Williams, host of "The Montel Williams Show," quickly moved to the next segment after she made positive comments about the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"This soldier isn't going to complain," she quoted Williams as saying to other talk show staffers during a commercial break.
Frasier also said the portion of the taped interview in which she praised Veterans Affairs was cut out when the show aired Tuesday.
