Supporting the Troops
The Counterpoint has some nice little tidbits about how Bush and the rest of the Radical Republicans treat veterns and members of the National Guard. Some examples that might help explain why the military is having such a tough time with recruiting, "roughly 20% of Guard members [. . .] have no health insurance at all," the "2006 budget proposes cutting veteran’s benefits by $910 million, including funding for nursing homes and research on prosthetics for disabled vets," or the fact that the Republicans "cut military housing funding by $1.5 billion." There's more, but I wouldn't want to be accused of not supporting the troops or anything like that.
