If that article is true: What a bloody disgrace!

Bush himself went AWOL from his Alabama National Guard unit during the Vietnam War.

You would think if was in the army he would have some compassion for vets.

His lengthy absence may have made him technically a deserter, and thus subject to prosecution, which has never happened..... Bush has publicly cited his alleged "combat" experience, but never served in any battle

That takes the cake; he talks about "an unbreakable commitment" to Iraq and he was a deserter? He hasnt seen combat and yet he says that he has? Isnt that insulting to peope have actually been in war?

But he has attacked those within the military who would express a democratic opinion against his policies.....

Isnt this the same man who said "I love free speech"?

And it has failed to provide body armor to some forty percent of the soldiers serving in Iraq.

Meanwhile Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has blatantly violated a 1990s law requiring the military to keep baseline medical data so the health of the US soldiers now serving in Iraq can be properly monitored. The demand derives from Gulf War Syndrome, which may have caused disabling diseases among as many as 220,000 vets. But Rumsfeld has ignored the law.

I dont get it. Why wouldnt you want to keep checks on your soldiers health? When they get back from war dont they want them to be productive citizens?

Meanwhile Bush has fought to slash long-standing benefits due surviving veterans of the World Wars, Korea and Vietnam.

How low can you get? Taking benefits from people who have suffered through war.
On an amusing side note Wordweb (a little dictionary program) has this as one of its definitions for politician: A schemer who tries to gain advantage in an organization in sly or underhanded ways. Nice one wordweb [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
