He harmed the troops everyday that he undermined his President, calling our mission a lie, and slandering him and the VP as war criminals and murders, giving comfort to the enemy so that they were righteous in their fight, encouraging them to hang on longer.

Not to mention what it does to the American people’s resolve, when there own government Representatives appear on a “Tokyo Rose” show like Imus’.

He’s raised over $25,000,000 for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes fund and Brooke Army Medical Center. That is not someone who is undermining the troops.

“The Center for the Intrepid and the two new Fisher Houses will be operated by the Defense Department, but building them was purely a private endeavor. Radio-show host and contributor Don Imus helped raise the last 40 percent of the funds for the center by campaigning on his show for six weeks. Richard Santulli, chairman of the Fallen Heroes Fund, said, “That’s the American way, we don’t expect the government to address every need in our lives.” But some question why private funds were necessary. The Veterans Affairs department¹s budget has grown from $48 billion in fiscal year 2001 to $80 billion in 2007, and funding for veteran health care is up 70 percent since 2000. But the costs of the current conflicts are yet to be realized, even as the armed forces expand to cope with new threats and current burdens.”
