Another shameful page in the history of this nations treatment of its troops and veterans. It goes like this. “They have given their all for us. Now how do we want to treat them? Who cares, let’s just get the next sucker to fill their slot.”

TF, I can agree on that, the dollars never seem to go where they are supposed to. It sucks bad that it took so long for them to take ANY action at all.

I hope you don’t mind if I rip this post Fred, credits go to you of course.

The Bush Bots are the type of people who think that all you have to do to support the troops is put a yellow ribbon on your car. I doubt if very many of them have ever served their country unless it was making them a large profit.

Don’t cry too long Katie because I’ve been there. Getting mad is a lot better. If this heart thing that I have ever gets better I’m going to start volunteering at our local VA hospital.
The people who work out there are great and I will never forget how they treated my Dad with dignity. I was always amazed how they could do so much with so little so it really saddens me that other VA hospitals are really dropping the ball.

I think the first question that should be asked in any Presential debate is, “What do you plan to do for our soldiers?”

I know, all too well, what The Clintons did to the military and Intel services, I was there too…

And as for placing blame, we haven’t really *been to war* until Bush took office and we went to Afghanistan. And I fully agree with that move too, the Iraq thing is something that I will NEVER be convinced of.

In any case, Bush is the guy, has been for almost 8 years, as of right now, it ALL falls on HIS shoulders, the care of our troops, or perhaps more correctly, the lack of in many cases.

A hell of a lot more could be done to help the troops all around as well, the armor for vehicles and personal body armor debacle that was a fact and actuality when we went into that ill-advised clusterfuck called Iraq, that would have been a great place to start.

The list is long and there is blame aplenty, but as I said, Bush IS the guy in charge, and as Truman said, “the buck stops here…”

Any President, or commander worth his salt will accept FULL responsibility for his failures and the failures of HIS policies…

That lets Bush out, the buck never stopped anywhere, all it does is get passed around as another General here and there falls on his sword to keep Bush from looking like a bigger moron than he is…

I served all during the Clinton years in office and seen first hand how his cuts have hurt the military and we’re paying the price today. But, that’s not the point. To me, the point is, how can we spend billions upon billions of dollars in Iraq, Africa, Mexico, and any other third world hell-hole and not spend the money necessary to ensure our fighting men and women get proper medical care?

Whiteman AFB is spending about 4.5 million for a new dog kennel…4,500,000 on a dog house. Where are our priorities?

Again, a disgusting situation, and on TWO levels:

1. This level, in terms of after-action care and
2. As Roland pointed out in a recent post, soldiers are now being prosecuted in CIVILIAN venues for actions taken during war.

This is the BEST way to ensure your ready supply of warriors RUNS OUT.

OMG unbelievable. But it would not be here if it were not true. What an atrocity to say the least. I am so freaking fed up! What’s next Fred? This is crap through and through!
