Small Veteran Owned Business gets caught in Hawker Chapter 11

Well, here is another chapter in American history where a large company will simply wipe out a small veteran owned business because they get caught up in the chapter 11. Twenty Eight years in business and now our existence is questionable because the US Court system is allowing Hawker to simply say "See Ya" to small businesses that entrust companies like Hawker to do the right thing. I get the whole "The needs of the many far outweigh the needs of the few" I am a Vietnam Era Veteran who build my business on sweat equity and the one thing that never crosses my mind is "Let someone else pay for my mistakes". How can our court system here in the US allow a small business like mine to be in a position where we have all worked so hard and pay taxes to just say, Oh it is OK for you Hawker big business to simply never have to pay back these hard working US Veterans who have put their lives and savings to build a business and work 15 hours a day for most of the 28 years we have been around.
How does this make sense, please someone tell me.
