Bush & Cheney should be Frog-Marched from the White House staight down 16th Ave. -- To a gallows in front of Bldg 18

[j-whitman]

This sure shoots big holes in the GOP's rhetoric that they support the troops & Liberals don't !!!

I don't know why this is such a big deal to everyone all of a sudden. Anyone who lives (or lived) near a military base - whether their families were military or not - knows that the post hospitals are horrible. The doctors are rejects because they could not get on with other respectable and more reputable hospitals.

I grew up in Fayetteville, NC, home of Ft. Bragg & Pope Air Force base. My parents were not affiliated with the military but many of my friends were from military families. Everyone, I mean EVERYONE, knew that is was better to see (& pay for out of pocket) a doctor off-base than to be subjected to the knife of a doctor that took 6 tries to pass his medical exam (if they didn't fudge their resume.)

This has been going on for decades people. Why all of the uproar now? Why weren't all of you screaming for the heads of Presidents Ford & Carter back in the 1970s when I was a child? Those who serve our country (which I did for 6 years) deserve the very best: the best training, the best equipment, our utmost support and the best medical care.

"And, a few months later, in a speech to sailors, he said, "I know there've been times when the military has been taken for granted. It won't happen under this administration." He boosted defense spending and gave soldiers a pay raise. "Under Reagan, the Republican Party made itself the pro-military, and, synonymously, the pro-soldier, party," Posted by lars008

From the Statement of the Congressional Budget Office on Military Pay before the Subcommittee on Personnel Committee on Armed Services United States Senate March 16, 1995: "...testify on the so-called military "pay gap," the amount by which military pay raises seem to have lagged behind raises in the civilian economy over the past 10 years or more.

According to widely reported estimates, a pay gap developed rapidly during the 1980s. The Army, Navy, and Air Force Times regularly report those estimates, and many people accept the existence of a gap as a simple fact. According to a February 20,1995, article in the Navy Times, the gap stood at 12.8 percent following the most recent military pay raise."

This shoots big holes in your statements, lars.

Fact is, neither party looks out for the military.

Putting Walter Reed on the Base Closure List in War Time just to turn it over to private contractors --- HURT OUR TROOPS & "EMBOLDENS THE ENEMY"

[j-whitman]

This Adminstration has Oursourced our Jobs, manufacturing, our ports, our Military services & fighting to private contractors --- In Each Instance, It Has Hurt America

Mirror

My friends, sometimes the most difficult thing about fighting evil is realizing that it actually exists, and then unambiguously and forcefully calling it what it is.

History shows time and time again that one of evils greatest strengths is its ability to disguise itself as good, or at least a temporary necessity, until that last fatal moment when its revelation becomes clear, indisputable, and inescapable.

So today let us take a clear and unadulterated look into the mirror at ourselves.

Just six years ago we were one of the most respected and admired defenders of democracy and human rights in history. Respected not only by our friends, but even begrudgingly by most of our enemies. In fact, even the fantastic power of our military paled in comparison to the overwhelming might of our moral authority.

Today we are a nation that operates secret prisons occupied by anonymous inmates, illegally abducted and held indefinitely without charge or representation. We are guilty of torture. We are guilty of murder. We are guilty of preemptive war of conquest. We are guilty of the wholesale surveillance of our population, suppressing all hope of privacy and free dissent. And we are guilty of disgracing our nation through the abandonment of even our most basic precepts of morality.

If this is not evil, then nothing we have ever fought against is evil, and nothing we have ever fought for is good.

"In 1980, Ronald Reagan proclaimed that the U.S. effort in Vietnam "was, in truth, a noble cause"--a proclamation that was much appreciated by many veterans. In contrast to Carter, Reagan's inaugural address was a paean to the American soldier. And, a few months later, in a speech to sailors, he said, "I know there've been times when the military has been taken for granted. It won't happen under this administration." Posted by lars008

So then why did Reagan scr*ew the military retiree, for life, when he gave away the retiree's military pension to ex-wives? Twenty-five years later and retirees are still trying to get this illegal act reversed.

Tell me, lars, if Reagan is so pro-military, why did he sign that bill?

I don't know how many of you watched the CBS News tonight but there was a Fascist on there actually saying thank goodness for the FREE Press. Of course he was referring to the Washington Post and it's uncovering this mess. Strange thing is though it wasn't a month ago that this same disgusting little Southern Nazi was accusing that SAME paper of "liberal bia's". Just think IF we had not had a Free Press, If we were relyin on the Moonie Times or the Fox Gang. Just stop and think about this for a sec folks. THEY do not report this. They do not investigate this. WE do not know about THIS!! Now you want to talk about BIAS in the MEDIA? That's BIAS in the Media!!

[skyk-2009]

Lieutenant General Barry McCaffrey because she didn't "speak to people in uniform"--combined with the fact that so few people in Clinton's inner circle had themselves served--only deepened the notion that the Democratic Party was inherently hostile to the military.

They sure as HELL we're looking into this Administration and allt he abuses of such! But not to worry folks, Old Lars is always handy with a Hate other American's because they aren't in MY party hat!! LMAO Fascist like him only come along once in a life time. Thank God!

'Around year 2000 or 2001 a new director came to the Augusta, GA VA Hospital and recieved huge performance bonuses for saving money (cutting veteran's services).

While on active duty I was a patient at Walter Reed in 1997 and it was a nightmare then.

I had health problems from Desert Storm but was nearly thrown out of the Army after 17 1/2 years for being a "malingerer".'

You have done nothing but bad mouth EVERYTHING "Liberal" and have spew hate at the Free Press non stop so tell us swastika breath.. how do you feel about that Liberal Press NOW? Sieg Heil.

Support the troops? Is this what Republicans mean by that?

"I understand. For I have been disappointed also. Humanity, overall, almost always disappoints me. However humans, individually, almost always fill me with hope. This has led me to the conviction that humanity is good; it is our organization and ideologies that have proven pitifully and woefully ineffective and inadequate."
