Vets Support Bush...WHY?    I'm not really sure how Vets can really support Bush over Kerry. Bush lies to have wars and fights them on the cheap, with mercenaries getting paid three times what soldiers do. Soldiers come back with mysterious illnesses and the government then cuts military benefits. How the fuck could ANY veteran support that? Oh...and Bush and Cheney and most of their cabinet and advisors have never had to fight in any wars because of their privileged connections!    Kerry DID fight even though he didn't think we should be in Vietnam because his country called him to. When he saw how horrible the war really was and how ill-considered it was, he had the conviction to speak against it to end the killing on both sides. Somehow ending needless soldier deaths is seen by many people as being unsupportive to the troops. You'd think anyone could see the flaw in such logic: especially actual troops. Wanting troops not to die just so rich people can snag more oil is not treasonous. If people can't see that then I guess all hope is lost.    6:30:55 PM    comment []
