Why Does the GOP Hate American Troops?

For the first time in 55 years Congress will not hold a joint meeting of the Veteran's Affairs Committee. Traditionally, the joint hearing was a time for veteran's groups to give testimony about veteran's issues. This action comes on the heels of the Bush Department of Defense reneging on $15,000 re-enlistment bonuses for National Guardsmen and women.

Yet, Bush and his lackeys continue to feed, and the wackos on the right keep eating up, the bullshit about supporting the troops. But then we should be not be too surprised that people who believed that a Vietnam War evader would make a better commander in chief than a decorated Vietnam War veteran. Morons.
