regardless of how i feel about the war with Iraq, I have to ask why the U.S. hasn't learned (or doesnt care) how to treat the very citizens who give there life for freedom/liberty (political agenda)...
personally, i am embarrassed by the way we treat our veterans. although i dont understand why anyone would volunteer for the armed services under the guise of serving their country, i still feel it is our duty (as american citizens) to take care of those that put themselves in harms way for the U.S.
why dont more people stand up and ask why the U.S. treats their veterans like dirt?

Yes, I agree our country treats vets poorly. We must do better!!
I also believe our troops had a much harder time in Iraq --with poorer equipment, higher caualties, and an emboldened enemy --because the Dems played politics at home. To see our troops used like pawns in the Dems' domestic power play was maddening and a total disgrace!
