Support our Troops ~ Yeah Right
I only hope Sean Hannity of Faux noise reads this article. But then again, he will spin it so that it is all Bill Clinton’s fault. Regardless of how the christo-fascist want to frame it, the fact of the matter remains, – Support our troops is a bold face lie on many fronts. You can easily conclude from the Newsweek article that slogan is not so. If you prefer, you can check at the other end of the_support our troops_meme. Our illustrious decider is more than happy to tell us how much he has increased the VA budget, but what he, and all the republicans don’t say is that_the ‘decider’ has decided NOT TO FULLY FUND THE VA, I guess this is how he supports our troops.
Do you think the private contractors this Marine is referring to is the subsidary of Halliburton named KBR? You know, the private contractor who has so much political influence that the US Military protects their convoys, while all other companies like GE, are left to provide security for themselves.
“I was picking up the pieces of a truck that hours before had been blown apart by an IED, wondering why our equipment wasn’t better and why three more Marines were dead. Ramadan had just ended, the period in which a suicide bomber gets double and triple the virgins for killing himself in the name of jihad…..
Just then I noticed a big vehicle driving by, one owned by a private contracting company. This thing made our truck look like a Pinto in a Ferrari showroom. It was huge, heavy, ominous, indestructible. I wanted to commandeer it. I wanted to live in it. If only we were in one of those, I would definitely come home, and a lot of the guys who won’t would too.”
