(6,699 posts)The repuKKKes have ALWAYS Bull horned how they support the troops. W and Cheney perfected the propaganda to a fine point.....it wasnt whether or not the Iraq invasion was a crime, but rather did you support the troops...or no??
RepuKKKe have ALWAYS demanded out of control budgets for the military....not because they support the military personnel, but rather because they support the massive war machine that buys their re-elections. Our economy is based on the war machine. More spending = bigger kickbacks into their coffers.
So in essence, its all bull shit, but the serviceman swallows the talking points that the repuKKKes actually care about THEM. Nonsense. They quite honestly couldnt care less about them. The Democrats have to fight and scream for VA benefits, and when the repuKKKes give them 1/10th of what they ask for, they use it as a talking point that THEY increased VA funding. A shell game, and the military personnel are too ignorant to see the picture at all.
Its marketing. Remember how the decorated Vietnam vet was a treasonous traitor while the fortunate son Air Force reserve action-dodger who went AWOL the last year or two of his duty was hailed as a hero.
Marketing.
