This appears to be REALLY non-partisan. Frank will come along soon and blast holes in every article on that page. Should be amusing.
I'm hesitant to lay blame on Bush for "budget" issues unless of course he planned the cuts before submitting his budget.
Not the first time those topics have come up. They were harped on by Kerry all throughout the debates, but I never heard a rebuke from W.
Keep in mind that the military E-5 and above have received over 20% hike in pay since Bush took over the White House. Damn military memory is short. The budget for equipment such as body armor is the one Kerry voted against. It stated "Bush's proposed unfunded budget..." Why should we provide health care to reservists. They are civilians when not on active duty. When on active duty they have the same medical benefits as the rest of the military. Since when is every vehicle going to be built to withstand mortar attacks? It isn't reasonable to expect a fleet of armored Hummers to be delivered to replace all of the current ones without some delay. It takes time to build armored Hummers when you have the likes of Kerry wanting their civilian ones first. Alot of that bullshit is whining and alot of it is out of Bush's control when congress won't approve it. And most of the rest of it is bullshit that doesn't need to be done.
Right from the article - "Troops die in Humvees not designed for combat" I never saw one that was the whole time I was in.
ACT is led by a bunch of ex-DNC officers and assorted other nutbags. Financed by George Soros, and we know about him. And, so nobody gets the wrong impression, the Army Times is a private publication owned by Gannett and not affiliated with the US Army. http://actforvictory.org/act.php/home/gotv/ http://www.opensecrets.org/527s/527events.asp?orgid=10
Isn't George Soros the guy that was convicted for insider trading violations in France and had to pay over $2.2 million in fines?
He didn't cut benefits, he just didn't keep cranking them up. He's done more for their pay in the last 3.5 years than the last 3 administrations combined. Over 20% pay raise for E-5 and above over the last three years. It has to slowdown at some point.
I just wanted make sure we were talking about the same George Soros. Just to be sure, is this the same George Soros that has spent over $25 million of his own money to help Kerry oust President Bush from the White House?
Asked and ANSWERED!!!! ROFLMAO!!!! How fucking funny is it when this guy along with his ignorant clan keep getting OWNED!!!! LOL!!! Ooooohhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhh LIES I TELL YA! You Anti-Americans! FACTS WILL ALWAYS SET YOU FREE BOYS, WHEN YOU WANNA GET UR HEADS COLLECTIVELY OUT OF KERRY'S ASS YOU MIGHT SEE THE LIGHT!!! ONLY 6 DAYS AND COUNTING TO SEE THE END OF THE TUNNEL BEFORE THE TRAIN TAKES YOU OUT!
Didnt they teach us that in junior high? Keep trying T_A but I must ask you doesnt it get tiresome? Can you honestly say you walked away on ANY debate here saying you saved face? LMAO! keep trying!
Are you blind, do you not read, or do you just choose to continually ignore facts? Note the 2005 budget. Explain to me why you consider an increase of $4,989M a cut? Honestly, I don't even know why I bother replying to you, you don't exhibit much integrity with posts like your prior two. I can understand arguing facts, but you don't even try to advance a position even remotely based on fact. What's your problem?
