This makes me SO proud. To think of the sacrifices all of us are making as our family members serve, the lives that are being lost and irrevocably altered when ammo runs out and supplies are low. What a total bunch of schmucks (and, yes, Dad, I know EXACTLY what that word means and I have chosen it ON PURPOSE).

A little history lesson:

What happened when Democrats in Congress cut off funding for the Vietnam War?

This is outrageous. I sent this info to my friends at the Air Force base, along with the phone numbers of the culprits and told them to give ‘em hell. Like I told them, if this doesn’t piss off the American public, all is lost.

from the article:

While earmarks are hardly new in Washington, “in 30 years on Capitol Hill, I never saw Congress mangle the defense budget as badly as this year,” said Winslow Wheeler, a former Senate staffer who worked on defense funding and oversight for both Republicans and Democrats.

Get Rid of ALL of congress and start over.

Congress needs Term Limits ASAP. A congressional politican should not be able to serve longer than 12 years ... Career politicians are idiots.

At this point, random indivdiuals from the phonebook would make better memebers of our congress than the current ...

Senatorial Bastids.

Treasonous Bastids.

Why isn't the press screaming? The press hates the military.

Maybe time to bring everyone home, if the country has lost the will to support our soldiers at risk.

The Senators who did this need to be run out on rails.

the so called media have ignored everything which could put their messiah in a bad light and I bet this will not be covered or covered in great detail either.

This is sickening and if the so called media actually did their job then their messiah would be lower than any president in our history.

They will keep doing this until they are held accountable and it seems that will never happen.

There was another thread on this the other day. The consensus was that this practice is perfectly acceptable.

As long as John McCain is against it.

Figures that John “Reporting for Duty” Kerry would be in on the theft. Liberals are loathsome creatures, including Snowe. Our troops can throw rocks at the Taliban, but at least we will have an institute named after Chappaquidick Ted. Disgusting.

I surprised the amount is that low.

It’s just further proof that rats hate the troops, they don’t support them and never will. In this instance, the rats are using our military to feather their own nests - bring home the bacon to buy votes, by screwing the military. They get to kill two birds with one stone - buy votes and smite the military.

Troop funds diverted to pet projects; $20M for Ted Kennedy institute

Study finds $2.6 billion taken from guns and ammunition

By Shaun Waterman THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Senators diverted $2.6 billion in funds in a defense spending bill to pet projects largely at the expense of accounts that pay for fuel, ammunition and training for U.S. troops, including those fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to an analysis.

Among the 778 such projects, known as earmarks, packed into the bill: $25 million for a new World War II museum at the University of New Orleans and $20 million to launch an educational institute named after the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat.

I spoke with a very young man in an airport last week.He is a booter army infantry on his way to Afghanistan after short training elsewhere I will not name. I asked him about 0bama's ROE's...

His drill sargeant told him to ignore DEFEND HIS LIFE.I was so relieved to hear this until I read this article.0BAMA NEEDS IMPEACHED AND REMOVED and sent to Chicago where he belongs IMMEDIATELY!!!
