EXCELLENT thread, Jojo. While it may or may not be true that the armed forces have always been dumped on, you shouldn't let Finny get away with that particular unwarranted assumption. I'm certainly not responsible for what went on before I was born!

What we DO know, however is that our White House halfwit and his cadre of neocon nutbars and suckfish Republicans have been particularly callous in their treatment of our military. They've sent them into harm's way under-equipped, mercilessly cut their veterans' benefits and treated them shabbily upon discharge. If I were currently serving, I'd be LIVID.

Oh, and did somebody say "Walter Reed?"
