There were several articles in that post, all illustrating callous diregard for our troops, and one of them was a quote from VA secretary Peake - a man appointed to the VA by Bush.
An effort to coverup a suicide epidemic among veterans.
Lying to the press about the numbers.
Trying to get doctors to stop giving PTSD diagnoses because it is too expensive and those greedy vets just want to file claims...
Claiming that TBI is overblown, and comparing it to a sports injury... tell me again WHO is showing disrespect for the troops?
Your 'outrage' is directed ONLY at those that believe that the soldier's lives are a currency to precious to spend on unjust causes. It is NOT directed at an administration that thinks cash is too precious to spend in protecting them and treating their injuries when they return.
Your only care for the veterans is to use them as a tool- an emotional tool to try to paint those against the war as being against the troops- its a lie, and I wont let you get away with it. I think this war is a crime BECAUSE I value the sacrifice of those that fight in our name- if you want to claim otherwise then you can go to hell. I wont take that bullshit from a callous political whore that has easily minimized their sacrifice whenever he thought it would help hime score points.
