Support Our Troops! (Not like the Republicans.) Daily Kos has a rundown of the many ways that the Bushies are screwing people in the military. Kos is a veteran, and he includes a long quote from the Army Times newsletter, which he summarizes as follows:

This is a key editorial, in a publication read by a large number of Army personnel (I read it religiously while serving). It exposes the "support our troops" hypocrites as creatures worth less than dirt. They LIE to place our troops in harms way. Then they:

• Refuse to double the $6,000 gratuity to the families of soldiers who die in harms way.
• They roll back pay increases for troops in harms way.
• They refuse to pass servicemember-friendly tax provisions, as the GOP's corporate masters get first dibs.
• They provide meager basic increases for the lower ranks.
• They cut the Pentagon's building budget (which pays for things such as barracks improvements, bowling alleys and other quality-of-life improvements at military bases, something that was really important to us soldiers), in order to make room for Bush's tax cuts.
