Saw this linked over at BLAH3 - Can you believe our wounded service people, our troops putting their all on the line for Mr "Bring 'Em On" can be charged $8.10 a day for the food they eat while hospitalized? A lingering gift from Mr Reagan in the 80's... Scroll down through BLAH3 and catch some hot postings.
Democratic Veteran and Byte Back link to two different articles highlighting the present administrations war against our veterans; both bear reading. Is it supporting our troops to subtract their disability pay from their retirement pay? Is it too costly to take care of the folks that have given their all for their country? Obviously yes when the Commander-in-Chief panders to his rich contributors, giving them tax cuts that the country can ill afford.
American soldiers from Guard Units, "Citizen Soldiers" are having their duty tour extended, and are seeing both their families and their businesses suffer from their absence. The good news about extended service time; the soldiers get two weeks leave to come home to loved ones. The bad news, the soldier will have to pay his own round trip ticket to Iraq.
In this administration's "well thought out" war we read of our soldiers having the folks at home send them supplies, like night vision gogglesand packs.
Supporting our troops? Yup, it looks like that is something we at home can do much more sincerely than the present administration. Read, share what you learn. We have the truth on our side; let's help lead folks to think...
Hear what Jim Hightower ( 2 minute realaudio clip) has to say about Mr Bush and company and their "support" of our troops.
Speaking of Jim Hightower, you'll be coming out to Veterans Park in Manchester NH this Saturday, 11am to 8pm, for the Rolling Thunder Down Home Democracy tour, won't you? Rolling Thunder rocks the Granite state.
1 great reason to visit New England...
