[Vision2020] Friday Fireworks

[Tom Hansen]

It has been painfully evident for the past six years that the Bush
administration doesn't give a DAMN about veterans.  

Bush talks a good game.  But, when it comes to actually committing money
(beyond what few dollars veterans realize from a VA fraught with deception),
time (beyond the Fourth of July parades), and effort (beyond election year
photo ops), Bush is nothing more than a leach sucking our soldiers dry and
kicking them to the curb.

I could show you the increase in percentages of homeless, drug-addicted,
mentally ill veterans that have been virtually swept under the rug during
the past six years, but I'll leave that to you fine people to discover for
yourselves.

The Bush administration epitomizes the old saying:  

"One casualty is horrible. A thousand casualties is a statistic."

Hi Matt,

The responsibility to take care of our wounded vets is a federal one.  But
one could suggest that their care could be deducted from Bush's pay and then
his very substantial retirement check.  After all he is the one who put in
them in harm's way and then neglected them when they returned home.
