...I'm okay with being REALITY-based.

A Voice from the Trenches

Check out the full text of the Army Times' Editorial posted on Daily Kos today. It's a telling scenario of how the Bush Administration talks a good talk of supporting the troops they have put in the line of fire, but walks the walk of denying them even basic upgrades in benefits for them and their families. This echoes the actions of the Administration a few months ago when, while singing the praises of the troops, it cut billions of dollars of veterans' benefits from the budget. There is no time like the present for Democratic candidates and the people of this country to point out what true support of the troops means - and it's more than a ripped-to-shreds flag flying the back of your suv.
