Guest rbbomber@netzero.com Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 http://www.military.com/features/0,15240.142117,00.html Military Report: Bush Opposes Military Raise George W. Bush flies about the country almost daily demanding that we support the troops. Yet his administration's record for so doing is dismal. Today's headline (above) and story at military.com documents the most nearly recent example of the administration's willingness to sell our troops short. Add to that the the administration's demand that wounded soldiers pay for their hospital meals and the neglect of the wounded even at the Army's Walter Reed Hospital for the benefit of civilian contractor cronies. Worse, there was the attempt to invade Iraq on the cheap, with no provision for adequate forces to stabilize the country nor for proper armor and vehicles for the job. Who supports our troops? --Russ Quote

When our leaders start a war for us to fight ,they go to the front lines to LEAD the troops. It would of course have to be a constitutional amendment but hell I'd vote for it. Quote

BUT it is better than what the Liberals offer. IF guys like Teddy Kennedy ran things, the Air Force would still be flying JN-4's (Jenny's from World War 1) the army would not have tanks and would still be on horseback armed with bows and arrows, maybe if lucky some flintlocks. Name the weapons systems in the past 40 years that Kennedy has voted on. Abrahms Tank. AGAINST! ' F-16 AGAINST F-15 Active opposition. B-1 Stridently opposed. Led two efforts to terminate the program. F-117 Stealth BITTERLY OPPOSED. B-2 Voted to terminate the program. Armored personnel carriers, OPPOSED! Nuclear submarines - OPPOSED! Aircraft carriers. OPPOSED! Missile cruisers. OPPOSED! Replacing cruise missiles OPPOSED! Anti Missile defense - BITTERLY OPPOSED. Yeah as bad as Bush IS = the alternative is FAR worse. Quote

Six years since he took office, four and half years into his war, bush,jr can't supply our troops with adequete vehicles or body armor. When you have no argument bring up the past to divert from the mess. The weapons you list are for the most part cold war weapons that serve no purpose in Iraq. Bush,jr: The wrong enemy, the wrong weapons, the wrong war Quote
