I have to agree with this assessment and it is quite true. The administration claims to support the troops yet refused to get the needed body armor and armor vehicles until the press had to report how bad the situation was. (Even now our men are not armed and protected to the best of our ability.) We are overanxious to pay Halliburton millions for materials they never deliver and to overcharge on fuel, but to arm and protect the troops......welllllll we'll see if we can work out some funding, it's those damned unpatriotic Dems. you know that prevent our giving the military the money they need.... To medically care for them.....welllllll we'll see if we can work out some funding, it's those damned unpatriotic Dems. you know that prevent our giving the military the money they need.

When the soldiers do get home those that were injured are treated badly and find that the VA hospitals are just meat plants where they do just enough to get the soldier out and home but offer very little assistance, aftercare and therapy.

But after several economic debates with the Right here, what can one expect. The Right doesn't give a damn if the soldier has mental problems from what he has seen, or has lost an arm or a leg. According to the Right, "fuck them, they can support themselves." Just keep your God damned hands off their tax cuts!!!!!!!!

If anyone wants to ever come to Brecksville VA Hospital once a week with me to see the men who come back and the bullshit way our government treats them, you are more than welcome to. I guarantee after you talk to men wounded in action and the vets at Brecksville it will change how "caring about the military" our president truly is.

So, no I see nothing wrong with the cartoon...... maybe the fact that it is so close to the truth and how we truly handle our vets, maybe that is what bothers the Right so much. They just can't handle the truth, because the truth disturbs their glee for tax cuts and heaven forbid someone show them what is truly happening.

As for the Chiefs of Staff letter...... what else are they going to say?

But the telling part is the last sentence in the last true paragraph: "While you or some of your readers may not agree with the war or its conduct, we believe you owe the men and women and their families who so selflessly serve our country the decency to not make light of their tremendous physical sacrifices."

Meanwhile, the Right say "Keep your Goddamned hands of my tax cuts, we sacrifice nothing!"

Meanwhile, the administration keeps cutting vets benefits.

Meanwhile, the troops come home to find the military is done with them and in some cases they treat the vets as second class citizens.

But keep trying to flame the cartoons that point this out...... maybe your consciences find it easier than to face the truth.
