let me clarify and simplify something that some fool suggested a year or so
ago, and has been repeated over and over again by other fools.
even though the men and women of our military don't need it from me, i respect and honor all of
those who risk their lives for my safety and my country's safety.
i have never suggested anything less.
the idea of my not respecting our troops is a lie that has been posted and echoed over and over
by the simpletons that read it and repeat it.
it was not true, it is not true. it will never be true.
i have watched young men and women sent into battle unprotected and i have read about the
cutbacks to these men and women, in terms of medical attention, pay, and other benifits, by this
administration that has given lip service to these troops.
there are badly wounded in hospitals who are not getting proper treatment because of these
cutbacks. there are veterans of this and prior wars who have been been eliminated from the
benifits the va used to afford because of "lack of funds." these are not people looking for a hand
out, they are looking for what they have earned.
