Supporting the Troops.... the lack thereof, Speaking with forked tongue Options

[Hellfighter]

This one's nauseating;
Regardless of whoever the leader is/party they represent, if they're committed to spending hundreds of billions of dollars in a 'war effort', a large chunk of that should be set aside to fully and unconditionally accomodate the needs of its frontline fighters during and after their service. Where are the neo-cons/Bush admin and their 'support the troops' rhetoric now sticking up for vets on this issue you'll read- disgusting.....

Can I suggest you who are able to do so, drop your Governors a line or two on this. It's not right at all.

I'm all for investiogation and getting facts. Your into "wagering" what the problem might be and throwing money at it with out any sense of direction. I completely disagree with that analisys.

I appreciate your discussion about veterans of different wars but PTSD doesn't care what war you served in. Rememeber WWII and Vietnam troops were drafted, recent wars are all volunteer so which group would you expect to have more problems dealing with the war?

Since the USA spends a vast fortune on Defense and actually does something about the villians that walk the earth, why doesn't Canada, Mexico, and nearly every country in Europe and the rest of the world spend some money to take care of OUR vet's. THEY don't have to spend any money on defense because the USA protects THEM all!

"...hundreds of billions of dollars are being thrown around for a grand adventure of a war..."
Ahhh, so here it is. Your obviously using this issue just to beat the 'end the war/Saddam was nice guy' drum so I am not going to discuss this issue further.

Have a good day.
