Do you support our troops? If so, prepare to be outraged that our commander in chief does not.

The Bush Administration's 2004 budget proposed gutting Veterans Administration (VA) services, including health care funding. Proposed cuts included: denying at least 360,000 veterans access to health care; $250 annual premiums; increased pharmacy co-payments; a 30 percent increased primary care co-payments; and increased waiting time for a first medical appointment.

2. Some support: another example of doublespeak, saying one thing but

doing just the opposite. This is but one of literally thousands of examples.

3. it is outrageous

absolutely f***ing outrageous. I send care packages to Iraq, and I believe that alone makes me care more about the troops than GWB. That and the fact that I actually served MY entire enlistment.

... he'll find a way of blaming the servicemen.

The man is contemptible.
