How War Mongers Support our Troops

I find it so sad, but at the same time, so disgusting, how the war mongers who weren't satisfied with fighting AL QAEDA in Afghanistan, but instead chose to follow Bush's stupid, unprecedented, pre-emptive invasion of Iraq, continually squeal "support the troops", "support the troops", while at the same time display their form of patriotism by not supplying those same troops with proper vehicles and body armor and who know what else, and then once they're home, forget about them.
We can really support the troops by guaranteeing full and increased funding for veterans benefits and health care.
Our troops could use a new GI Bill that will truly provide funds for returning veterans for education, home ownership and financial help for restarting their lives and taking care of their families when they come home.

Of course our war mongers (translate chicken hawks) are witless buffoons in international politics. Ditto that for economics or social programs.

The shame of many of our folks is that we did not force discussion and debate before some of these thing occured. I share some of that blame myself as does almost every other thinking person in the land. Time for us to step up and do the right thing now, force debate and wise policy.
