Defend this. Don't divert attention. Don't obfuscate. Defend this President, and his defend his treatment of veterans.
A big difference between the Clinton and Bush administrations was how they used the military. Clinton had us doing Peace Keeping Missions, Humanitarian Aid Programs, Disaster Relief and kept our tours no more then a year for the most part. How has Bush used and abused our military in contrast? Long extended tours, cuts in post facilities, activating poorly equipped guard and reservist units. I voted for Bush in 2000 absentee from Louisiana and I've regretted it ever since.
This is no military I know. It's Meals on Wheels. Did ya sell Hillary's cookies too? Thank God, in Greyhound, I'm gone.... Oh, and thank you for your service. You're the absolute first military type that has spoken of the Clinton military in this light. Maybe everyone that feels like you do with take heart in another "Clinton Military" possibility with the election of Hillary in 08. Perish the friggen thought.
Aren't you getting tired yet?
My father is a Marine veteran of WWII. He volunteered after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, lying about his age (he had just turned 16.) He is a decorated disabled Vet. While your individual experience with the VA may be true, my father, who tried to utilize the VA for medical care when he had a wife, and me and my 4 brothers to support (instead of paying a deductable) could tell you a vastly different story, none too different that the one Matt cites above. He gave up expecting anything from them then, and expects nothing in the future.
Your comments are about as meaningful as the band-aid care this administration is putting on the medical care of its veterans.
I have seen no evidence of self reflection in Shrub.
Remember that he "sleeps well at night"...along with the smirk on his face as he said it?
The only evidence I've seen is anti-social psychopathic tendencies, IMO.
Secondly, I would wonder, if these conditions do exist, why aren't the democrats, who take every other opportunity to chastise and undermine the present administration, bringing this to the forefront and screaming it from the floors of both the House and the Senate? Why aren't the democrats, since they control both houses, holding hearings on this travesty? Why, because in reality they could give a crap less about these wounded soldiers since they despise and hold them in contempt anyway, and are only interested in using the plight of our wounded to further the democrat political agenda. Which makes me wonder, since this would be a formidable tool against the Bush Administration, why aren't they using it as we speak?
Lastly, you can call this an illegal war all you want, but let's not forget that most democrats voted for it and long before Bush was elected and took office were beating the drums of war against Saddam.
I warn you, though...you'll actually have to read parts of the article, cause I got them in there.....
Okay, since Matt is piling on topics at the rate of one every nanosecond I'll terminate my end of this by saying that Bush is a republican but in my opinion not a conservative one. I've already admitted to having issues with him, but I feel his decision on Iraq was correct and all the Monday morning quarterbacking by the democrats won't change the fact that they were instrumental in making the decision to go there, but now they have changed course and are invested in defeat because it suits their political purpose.
You've listed a multitude of republican values that have been disposed of, so to speak, by the Bush Administration and I can only wonder where in the democrat party, dominated by the leftists, have you re-discovered those values?
Ex-president Clinton said that he did not have sex with that woman, Ms Lewinski. Where in that statement do you find an admission and apology? I also found no apologies when he was interviewed by Mr. Wallace, only finger pointing and blame shifting. He couldn't even accept responsibility for what happened at Waco. He pushed it off on poor incompetent Janet Reno.
