1. Like anything to do with the troops, this has the bushie stink to it.

They lure the men and women into joining, promising sign on bonuses...if you live long enough not to have to pay them back. Once signed on the dotted line that soldier is sent off to fight in the war of choice. If they live good, then they can be redeployed numerous times. If they die they come home in secret, the bushies don't like death counts. If they are injured they can look for a bunch of red tape to get the ongoing care needed. If they come home with PTSD they are looked on by the military as damaged goods and now they want to cheat them some more.

Bush and his cronies make me sick.
