Thread: How Bush & Co. treat the troops

1. Required that soldiers discharged early because of
battlefield injuries repay their enlistment bonuses.

2. Sent the longest-serving National Guard unit home after 729
days of combat in Iraq - one day shy of the 730 that the
soldiers needed to qualify for education benefits.

3. Omitted 20,000 cases of brain trauma from the official tally
of troops injured in Iraq.

4. Denied medical benefits to 22,000 veterans suffering from
post-traumatic stress by discharging them for having enlisted
with "pre-existing personality disorders".

What a bunch of SCUMBAGS!!!!!

SHAMEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could George Bush be more of an a**h***??? That man is the most despicable human on the face of the planet

You would think that our men are Blackwater employees instead of Government Patriots.

If those are true, and I'm not doubting it for one moment, it might make one understand why Ron Paul is getting support from military people.

Someone told me they had seen a TV program that reported if a soldier gets loaded on the helicopter or airplane before he/she dies, it is not counted as an Iraqi war death.

In other words, the numbers we get are only those who die on Iraqi soil.

Have you heard anything about that?

No, but that might be a good research project...

I don't seem to be too good at research - need to practice I guess.
