How to support our troops. That is the question.
The GOP thinks supporting the troops means voting for wars of aggression against petty dictatorships in puny third world countries. And, then continuing the war for a 100 hundred years.
However, it was revealed today in the AJC that our troops need another kind of support.
The Founder of the Home Depot is writing checks to a local hospital.
Why? Under laws written in Washington, where supporting the troops means giving them a ride into combat, the disabled and discarded veteran is dumped from medical treatment long before healing from combat wounds.
With our country about $10 trillion dollars in debt under Republican Presidents, we have no money to guarantee benefits promised under Social Security or the medical care promised to all our "supported troops."
The GOP promised smaller government but they said nothing about moral bankruptcy.
When grandma gets evicted and Sargent Rock lives under a rock, will voters finally wake up to the defects in GOP promises?
