Oh how history is forgotten. When Gore ran his 'I'm the inventor of the internet campaign' does everyone forget how he tried to throw out ballets coming from servicemen overseas and voting absentee?
Kerry thinks they're just a bunch of uneducated minorities and hicks. This is his position on active servicemen what more injured and retired ones. He thinks Nam vets were baby killers. And then there's Clinton who fled to Russia during Viet Nam.
Both sides are guilty!

A classic example of something that will bug me till the day I die. My grandfather served this country, on the mainland and over seas. He put in his time. He then went on and worked his whole adult life and retired at the ripe young age of his early 80's. When he retired, he recieved just a shy over $1,000 a month from Social Security, thats it. Granted, he did not work for the same company all his life, but............................................... .....

There has to be a better way to treat those who serve. His funeral was special as 2 men from Fort Knox gave us (family) and him a special memorial with the flag folded, etc.. But financially, that was a slap in the face in my opinion.

Not too mention thru all his medical problem late in life, the VA was not a big help.

I post this in respectful silence.
May they rest in peace. May their sacrifices not have been made in vain, nor their lives "wasted".
Rest in peace.

wasn't it GW who said, "I loathe the military"? Or was it someone else? The republicans should have followed Albright's move and given Sadam a signed Michael Jordan basketball. That worked in N Korea for her, didn't it?
