Why are you upset that the Army denied benefits for returning soldiers?

[Didereaux]

So the Army denied some Nat'l Guard unit Educational Benefits by rigging the deployment times. You are upset, why? They deny proper medical care for the wounded, or have you forgotten Walter reed(and several other such facilities), they deny those on the ground proper equipment, and sometimes training. Why, you ask? Silly question of you, isn't it obvious...it SAVES them monies to use to pay contractors such as Halliburton, KBR and private armies like Blackwater and they know the silly public won't catch on.

Follow the MONEY, always follow the MONEY!

1. A vet friend down there

Claims that repeat and extended tours are just a way to ensure that more soldiers don't need health care and vets benefits for too long.

It's a cynical view, but he may be correct.

2. These people are the biggest cadre of white trash ever assembled

in the history of the world. Bush may live out his life in luxury, but he will never be able to go anywhere that he is not despised. He will definitely go down in history as the greatest buffoon to ever disgrace the American people.

3. That's an insult to "white trash"

Given Chimpy's privileged background, he has no excuse for being so willfully ignorant and incompetent.

4. outside of Appalachia, the Bush clan is the ...

...single best example that intelligence is a heritable trait... and if lacking in the family tree is unlikely to appear in the SHRUB-bery! ahh, thank you Molly Ivens for that.

7. actually, paying contractors costs MORE money

those Blackwater guys make $1000 a day. a DAY. almost as much as your average grunt makes in a month.

they use our money, to pay their friends, who give them contributions and bribes. oh wait...it DOES save them money.
