The ''officers and gentlemen'' who are demanding this should be beaten through the streets, tarred and feathered and thrown into a hog lagoon.

Soldiers! Your enemy and America''s enemy is in Washington! We have been betrayed...the borders are open...the gates of the Treasury are open and thieves and dogs stalk the halls of Congress, the Courts and the corridors of the White House. It is time to restore the Constitutional Republic!

Another example of the fallacy of running the government "like a business".

That "save a buck at all costs" comes from the top down, and is why we sent too small of a force to invade and pacify Iraq, why we have lost so many servicemembers there, and at least partially why we are still there.

Accomplish the assigned mission first, and then submit the bill. If somebody kicks up a fuss because it might jeopardize the tax cuts given to this Administration''s supporters, go to the media with specifics.

Got to love The USA and we wonder why dsertations are up.

I wonder how many honest vets paid back the money before this? I think the US Department of the Armed Forces need to get their act together and start treating these people of what they really are, and that is HERO''s.....shame on the government.
