  Yet more bad news for my friends in the military...read the article linked above

  
  

  Why does our Republican government hate our troops so much?  Why is it only the Democrats (the ones that are often called troop-haters) that seem to want to make sure the military has the armor, weapons, training, and health care?  Out of the three major classes we have in the USA, why is the upper class not sacrificing anything for the war that seems to only benefit the upper class?  Now the administration wants to ask the wives, the children and the widows of soldiers to sacrifice more than their loved ones -- while the upper class keeps their $336 billion tax cut?  Why is it that the number of troops killed in Iraq has doubled in the past year...and so has the price of Haliburton stock?

  
  

  This is why I'm no longer a Republican, and temporarily not even an Independent any more.  I'm all for fiscal conservatism, family values, and reducing the bureaucracy in the government, but this administration has shown that none of these values are what the Republicans are about anymore.  In fact, the Democrats have recently shown that they're much more fiscally conservative, much more concerned about family values, and actually has increased the efficiency of the government before this administration shut it down.
