Since when did we (and by "we", I mostly mean Republicans) start picking and choosing which soldiers are worth saving and which ones aren't?
Remind me again how, after blocking increased funding bills for the VA and now this, will people continue to think that Republicans support the troops? I guess they "support" the troops just fine.........depending on who the POTUS is?

Then they tell them to elect a republican so things will magically become perfect and the military is what we should spend our money and lives on.

(46,416 posts)have known that the details of Bergdahl's capture are hinky, but no one suggested he wasn't worthy of being brought home...until he was actually brought home. Now the circumstances of his captivity and the nature of his service are being used to score political damage against Obama for freeing him--when it was known all along. Get the feeling that the GOP knew Bergdahl would be released, and were saving their "But wait, Bergdahl's a loser!" arrows for Obama's announcement?

(684 posts)They support them by sending them to die and be maimed in stupid and unnecessary wars.
To republicans, the troops are nothing more than cannon fodder for profit-driven wars based on lies. When a republican looks at a soldier, he does not see a human being. He sees a TOOL for lining his own pockets and the pockets of the MIC lobbyist cronies who paid for his election.
FUCK THE GOP!

(7,006 posts)If they had their way, they would "Convict" Bergdahl without ever having a trial.

Which is now a "Closed" Group. Wonder why.....
