Revised version of "Administration is Shafting Military Veterans"...

If a Democrat even remotely suggests that we're not winning in Iraq, then the Republicans accuse him/her of "NOT Supporting The Troops". The Democrat is reduced to having to offer a tearful apology.

On the other hand, when Republican Congress critters blatantly refuse to "Support The OLD Troops" and not even CNN mentions it. (Certainly not the "O'Reilly spin -er- nospin zone.) Here is a lovely quote from the referenced article:

House Republicans ousted fellow conservative Chris Smith as chairman of the Committee on Veterans Affairs for his tireless advocacy of veterans rights. Current Chairman Steve Buyer was promoted, in the words of one
Republican aide, "to tell the veterans groups, 'Enough is enough.'"

Did you notice the "one Republician aide" was unnamed? If said "aide" thinks a quote like this is worth saying, you'd think s/he
would have the courage to stand behind their remarks. Of course, some veterans might come by to "discuss" this matter...

Who are the OLD Troops? Whey, they are the Veterans such as my wife, me, two of my brothers, my father-in-law, my late
father and most of the men I know. Do you suppose the current administration is taking a lesson from such Ethical Business
Leaders such as Sears and Ken Lay-them-off and is shit canning the "old workers"? After all, the "old workers" (ok,
"Veterans") just drain money and don't give back anything.

So what have they "done for me lately" ("me" being the government)? Fifty one percent (prorated) voted Republican and 48
percent Democrat. Next Presidential election time, we just might be seeing a change in this as the new young Veterans vote their
outrage...

Of course, that would require "the media" or the Democratic Central Committee to tell these new Vets of the manner of their
future screwings...
