I will be cleaning up Bush's politcal war for re-election.
I work for a State Psychiatric hospital as a Mental health therapist, and I as well as many other good hearted people will be the ones in charge with the task of trying to re-habilitate these returning soldiers once the VA gives them the boot, And they will give them the boot.

It is ironic that someone like me who was and still is vehemently against Bush's war for re-election, will have to deal with the fall out from the madness of King George. I will have to console, treat and heal these soldiers, and it breaks my heart to think of what they may be enduring as I write this.

Back at the ranch, King George will be in Crawford crying in his beer and whining about being a lame duck president just like his father. Meanwhile, the returning soldiers continue to fight in the pits of hell. Long after the war is done.

1. Yes, the VA will boot them....mental health funding is way down,
from what I understand. Kudos to you and the other good folks who will be there for the vets.

2. Your understanding is correct.
VA is being gutted and Bush is starving the States. I guess that we can only hope that there will be some sort of Mental Health system around if Bush gets another four years.

4. You are so right about that.
Tipper would have brought new funding and a new day of hope in the field of mental health. We were so close to starting out the millenum towards the future, before it was brutally ripped asunder by crooks and thieves.
