Sure, our various branches of military service have had serious problems, and service men and women have never, ever been compensated in an adequate way. My opinion is they should be paid, and treated, better than any other job in government service. How dare some fucking bureaucrat make 10 times what the guy whose life is on the line makes? <BR/>And you know, I believe all liberals feel this same way, and yet we are the ones that are constantly accused of not "supporting" the troops. It's bullshit. Our troops need to believe in their mission, I understand that. I get that. But I don't need to believe in the mission. I am free to call it what it is - a massive lie perpetrated upon us by a dishonorable man.vikkitikkitavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501311175482530001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-1125521392853087692005-08-31T13:49:00.000-07:002005-08-31T13:49:00.000-07:00Onthe morning of 8-30 I heard on the news that Bus...Onthe morning of 8-30 I heard on the news that Bush was going to make a speech in commemoration of WWIIand that he was going to compare Iraq to WWII; the terrorism of nazi Germany to why we are in Iraq.How dare he compare his miserable revenge war to an honorable and meaningfully essential one. He got us into a mess that is killing and maiming 1000's of young men and women. What is wrong with him and with the majority of Americans who voted for this nut. He's done enough wrong and told enough lies to warrant impeachment. He's ruining our country, its honor, pride and our good name. He belongs put away somewhere with the other miscreants that gather around him. Also let him send his daughters and Cheney his masculine daughter to the front to fight. my deceased husband was a Marine in WWII and fought in Bouganville and Guadalcanal. He was seriously injured and that injury got worse neccesitating repeated serious surgeries and extreme pain. Yet, he was never sorry about having served. I support our troops and the tragedy they are going through but everything we say falls on deaf ears or only on the ears of those who care but don't have the power to stop it. Thanks for listening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
