On one hand they want military spending cut and on the other they want soldiers to be paid more. Throw in the "sympathy" they have for those poor soldiers who are staying deployed longer than they were "promised" and you've got one of the biggest loads of horse crap I've seen in a long time.

Oh, one more thing.
edit by rogue49 My dad was a Master Tank Gunner in the army, I have an uncle that died from a land mine in Korea, and I have ALWAYS supported the troops on the ground. I don't support the war, but I support the troops. I am not a "they" I am a "me" with my own opinions and thoughts.
The Bush Administration has asked more of this military while treating the troops like crap, cutting troop pay, extending their tour of duty, and generally showing a lot of contempt for an all-volunteer, mostly-poor, mostly-minority army. I can care about the troops while thinking the policy of the administration towards the troops and the war is wrong.
