Pretty intemperate remarks, at the very least. But he's entitled to his opinion, and so are his constituents when re-election time rolls around. You just KNOW his opponent will use this against him, as well he should.

Dispicable really.

The firefighters and police were true heros after 9/11. But this guy is just like the Bush admin actually. They just came out against the new GI bill. It treats the troops too well, they won't stay in. The Bush admin wants to make it so they NEED to stay in the military. Can't have them getting good benefits after serving our country. So this *** is just another Republican who doesn't want to reward the heros of America. He'd just assume let them suffer.

I agree the Bush administration is doing things to strong arm our boys into staying in the military......with guys doing 3-4 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and every promise regarding deployment broken what would you expect. This administration and this war has done damage to recruitment efforts that will last decades at least.
