Links to how the Republicans mistreat our troops and vets?

[Jackson4Gore]

Does anyone have a good site that has documented evidence of how the Republicans cut funding for armor, troop pay, troop benefits, veterans benefits, etc?

If so, I would appreciate it very much!

1. Check out this article on Santorum

I am not sure if it is what you are looking for.

U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum's re-election team might have jumped the gun a bit when it sent out a press release earlier this month touting the leadership team for Veterans for Santorum.

(snip)

Included on that list was Beaver County deputy coroner Lloyd "Skip" Haswell, who served three years in the Marine Corps and spent 14 months in Vietnam.

(snip)

However, on March 16, Santorum voted against an amendment to a budget bill that would have provided steady funding for veterans health care, a move that did not sit well with Haswell.

(snip)

Haswell said he's been trying to get an answer from Santorum's people on why the senator rejected the amendment, but his calls have been ignored. Consequently, he pulled out of the Veterans for Santorum, saying he can't campaign for someone who "votes against veterans" then can't take the time to explain himself."

There is really a lot of information out there on the topic of how the reupublicans "support" our troops and veterans.
