Everyday is a "Fuck a Vet Day" in bu$hWorld


We lie to them about the reason to go to war.

We stop-loss them beyond their service commitment.

We send them into combat without proper training and/or equipment.

We send them into combat with physical and mental injuries.

We send them into combat without adequate rest between combat tours.

We extend their combat tours to a numbing 15 months.

We poison their bodies with depleted uranium.

We poison their spirit by placing them into an unwinable occupation.

We put them in the middle of a civil war.

We put them into medical hellholes when they are evacuated out of Landsthul.

We give them a “FUCK YOU” when they seek medical treatment from the VA.

We screw them every way possible when they seek service-connected disability benefits.

We give their families sub-standard housing.


I know I'm missing some issues, but you get the idea.

1. This is the saddest thing I've read all day.

Recommend with a heavy heart.

12. This is one of the most important posts I've read all day.
All the serious matters that have gotten lost while we're forcefed hyped up 'news' stories that over-reach for effect.

4. Good post...
...but shouldn't it really be "Everyday is a 'Fuck With a Vet Day' in bu$hWorld?"

Otherwise, there's an odd sexual connotation that I don't believe you mean to convey.

11. I am so disgusted w/the way this asshole administration has
treated the military, especially those who have service connected disabilities, I could shoot blood from my eyes!

These cowardly bastards have sent our people off on a crappy little self made war, and then they forget about them, let them rot, and don't even show respect when they die and come home in coffins draped w/the flag these bastards "say" they love so much.

God I hate these miserable failures...may they rot in hell for what they've done!

13. The military is only a tool for corporate profits to the Bush mafia.
There will be no justice until Bush, Rumsfeld, and Cheney are all in prison for their crimes against our nation.

17. A shame the dems can't unite to oppose this ongoing insanity.
So long as the DLC exerts its right wing influence, there will always be dems supporting this so called war.
