Thanks for your service.
I agree and can't believe he allowed things to get this bad but I'm sure he is
trusting his advisors and senior officials.
We must learn from this and force the govt. to spend the $ to better the
equipment and to increase the quality of their healthcare.
It looks hillary's gonna get elected, lets hope she does that instead of
concentrating on illegals.

troops
As an American and a former Marine I'm ashamed of the way our country
treats our veterans. However, this has been going on much longer than
Bush or Clinton. It's just continuing the downward spiral.
Of course, this is great for the Democrats. I'm sure that the first two
years of the democratic admins statements will begin with "...due the
previous admins {actions/inactions/ etc.} our policies have not yet
yielded any postiive results...". The Democratic pocketed media will
of course agree.
Not that there aren't tons of mistakes to blame at Bush' feet, but the
media is a willing accomplice in making one side look worse, and the
other, seem better. Facts be damned.
"Insult to Injury
New data reveal an alarming trend: Vets' disabilities are being downgraded
By Linda Robinson
Posted 4/8/07
In the middle of a battle in Fallujah in April 2004, an M80 grenade
landed a foot away from Fred Ball. The blast threw the 26-year-old
Marine sergeant 10 feet into the air and sent a piece of hot shrapnel
into his right temple. Once his wound was patched up, Ball insisted on
rejoining his men. For the next three months, he continued to go on
raids, then returned to Camp Pendleton, Calif.
But Ball was not all right. Military doctors concluded that Ball was
suffering from a traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD), chronic headaches, and balance problems. Ball, who had a 3.5
grade-point average in high school, was found to have a
sixth-grade-level learning capability. In January of last year, the
Marine Corps found him unfit for duty but not disabled enough to receive
full permanent disability retirement benefits and discharged him. ..."

*GW talks the talk, but he sure doesn't walk the walk.

*Yeah, we know. This is another case of GW not being responsible. It
was the one-armed man, right?
