Revolt in the Ranks? Be VERY Careful, Neocon
by Douglas Herman

Exclusive to STR


A few weeks ago, about the same time those high-ranking US generals were stating-- emphatically--their displeasure with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and the conduct of the war in Iraq, Military.com ran a story on the Internet—Wounded Soldiers Left in Debt.

The broad range of anger, frustration and regret on the forum surprised me. Three years ago the great majority of servicemen and women accorded the Bush administration carte blanche, out of a misguided sense of patriotism, for a war with a non-belligerent nation that had neither threatened nor attacked the U.S.

1. Isn't the irony delicious?
Bill Clinton the president who was blasted for avoiding the Vietnam war, pushing for Gays and Lesbians in the military, has treated the military with far more respect than the so-called "Support The Troops" Bush Administration.

2. I agree
long ago creditors weren't allowed to harass the troops, but then we've got Republicans in office now :(

3. Change of Heart
Great scouting report, MikeNearMcChord, on how the rightie Military.com taste buds are changing now-a-days as dissent finally creeps into our real time picture about what this arsine Bush Administration has caused in these last 4-5 years. Still at this moment, dissent is finding many Republicans out there in the civie world today who are discovering their precious 'idiot' in chief and it's pork chop VP deeper in corruption while still bringing us closer to 'other' profiteering wars in their closing moments in office. This 'change of heart' handwriting on the wall should had easily exposed itself by the Nov 2004 elections with those still supporting GOP Bush Bastards!!
