These vets are terribly underinformed or misinformed. The list of budgetary, fiscal, construction, healthcare and manpower injuries to veteran programs and facilities is astounding. He actively opposed honoring the contract for healthcare to retired vets who were commissioned or enlisted before 1954. He did so, through his lawyers before the circuit court of appeals on the same day that he marched with a vet parade and spoke to a vet convention heaping self-praise on himself and his administration. Ask Colonel "Bud" Day about his class action suit.

I do not need to know anything more than that Kerry will work to introduce gays into the combat team: Randy Duke Cunningham is right. The last thing we need is open homosexuality in the force: the gals (and reduced standards and quotas that come with them) are bad enough.

No, they aren't. They just happen to support Bush and you don't.

Are you talking about the class action suit originally filed in 1996 and rejected without hearing by the Supreme Court in 2003? The one which despite getting "90% of the benefits sought" with Tricare For Life enacted in 2002, is still being pursued because having to pay up to $100 per month for healthcare means the healthcare isn't free? That class action lawsuit?

GI Bill funding has increased drastically and so did active duty salaries since Bush took office. I dont know anything specific about retirement benefits but Michael Moore had to lie about a bunch of stuff in his movie. If there were really a bunch of cuts, how come Moore wasnt able to cite them and instead had to post a bunch of lies?
