I sent this off last week to local rag & it disappeared into the ethos. . . . (The rag had a 200 word limit on LTTEs.) You're welcome to use this also if you wish.
Does Bush support our troops?
For this discussion. I’ll skip Abu Gharib, Guantanamo, Walter Reed, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, stop loss, and a $9,100,000,000,000+ national debt.
The Veterans Administration is woefully under funded and cannot meet the demands placed upon it..
Veterans represent 25% of the homeless population, yet are only 11% of the adult population of this country.
Veterans are experiencing problems with jobs when they return from overseas rotations. One United States senator called the procedures for veterans seeking help a confusing “Walter Reed-like nightmare.”
PTSD and TBI injuries are becoming epidemic.
The Veterans Administration reports that over 5,000 Veterans commit suicide each and every year. CBS reports: "Many believe, including the family members, that they (the VA) hasn't done a true nationwide count of the numbers (which are stunning) because they just don't want to know."
Depleted uranium poisoning is going to dwarf Agent Orange in terms of scope and toxicity..
For the life of me, I cannot understand how we can spend $330,000,000 on one F-22 fighter and ignore those who answered the call of duty.
So back to my original question: Does Bush support out troops? My answer: No.
