Those bastards can't even keep a promise to the men and women doing their dirty work...

9. Good letter

You take on a worthy cause, it appears that the military pay system remains as hosed as it was 35 years ago. I guess some things are timeless.

You have a flair for letter writing, I hope you continue to make your voice heard. As you point out, we need to continue to speak up here in Texas.

[madokie]

21. Will do. They run their letters only on Friday's so if you didn't make

today's deadline there is still next week. I'm looking forward to reading this in the pryor times. This is what the local people need to be reading. I live in a heavily registered democrat area and most local office's is dem but we always go repuke in national, go figure. Our repuke senators sucks.

on edit: Thanks

[w8liftinglady]

22. Thanks-let me know if they print it :)

24. I'll watch for it..

and let you know...

25. Having to be reimbursed for protective gear? And getting the runaround

for it? This is disgraceful.

I doubt this is common practice among modern military forces. I'm sure Israel sends their men and women into harm's way adequately protected as do all European armed forces.I'd bet most countries much worse off than us treat their military better.

For our government to give such short shrift to these young people while piling the pork onto the plates of Halliburton,Bechtel,Fluor,Blackwater,etc.,certinly shows us where their priorities lie.

Prayers for your son. May be return healthy in body and mind.

[Catchawave]

26. Heck, send it to the LAT, Trib, WaPo and NYT !

Very well done :hi:

If nothing else, a hungry investigative reporter may get on it!

[ThatsMyBarack]

27. Nice!

Hope it gets positive feedback....
