Did you know that US soldiers who get wounded in Iraq and are hospitalized in military hospitals - for amputation of their foot or other treatment - are then charged for the food they receive in the hospital? They get the bill when they are discharged from the hospital. So much for our American desire to support our troops. Yep, do a Google news search on that. There are several reports today. Who is to blame - who is to be held accountable - for this? We could point our finger in twenty directions. However, the Bush administration has blocked pay increases for our soldiers and their families while it has been sending them into more and more battles.
The Right cannot claim to be truly behind our men and women when they squander their three years in office without even bringing the pay scale for foot soldiers up to the national poverty level. Their families qualify and need food stamps while the solders are in Iraq being shot up. And then they get a bill for $8.10 a day from the Army for their stay in an Army hospital.
