When we hear Rethugs talk about supporting our troops, what they're really saying is keep the troops in the unwinnable situation in which they find themselves in Iraq. Now, as reported on the front page in the Washington Post, we see that "support" only goes so far for the Rethugs. When the wounded soldiers arrive back in the U.S. for medical care, they are given what amounts to the back of the hand. Poor conditions, Bush Assministration reductions in the Veterans Administration's budget, and endless "stop loss" orders to recycle our troops, show that the Rethugs truly treat our armed forces like Kleenex tissue. So the next time you hear them talking about "supporting our troops," remember that their support only goes so far.
