I don't quite understand how "Fully fund the VA" is anti-troop...

I don't think it is on its face. However, if the only part of the military you want to fund is the part that takes care of retired and wounded soldiers, it is hardly "support" for the troops.

It's not, but it is about as insincere as possible. The Pinkos endorsed "the Iraqi resistance" (as they call our enemy, see here and here), gave money to the other side in Fallujah, and call our troops "killers." Then, the Pinkos demonstrate at the hospital and pretend that they support our troops. If anyway buys that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell them.

The benefits stuff is simply bait to attract troops and vets so that they can try to get them to join the anti-war movement.

If the Pinkos wanted to recruit Washington Redskins fans, they would stand outside the stadium with pro-Redskins signs, even if they truly favored the Philadelphia Eagles.

That was one of the new signs making its debut performance. Three weeks ago the pink-o's protest got national attention. Since then there are few of their old signs seen. Most in tonight's thread are new.

They are going through an outward make over since "Maimed for a lie" and "Sign up here to die for Halliburton" did not go over well with the general public.

Don't you think if that person was sincere, they would be standing over on the Freeper side? After all, the best way to minimize casualties and make sure the most value is extracted for each dollar spent is to have fewer casualties to have to spend it on?

I don't think giving money to terrorists so they can buy cell phones to trigger bombs is going to result in more efficient care for those soldiers who are wounded if it just creates more of them.

It's propaganda. They don't give a damn about the VA or the troops. The message of that sign is "The government you're fighting for doesn't care about you-- but we do."

Then they've pulled you in hook, line and sinker. Ask yourself why we would congregate against those signs, or why our wounded soldiers would curse and flip off a group that just wanted to "fully fund the VA."

Fake sign to pretend they care for the troops.

Just like they say "We DO support the troops by bringing them home."

Lies.
