So they just nominated petraeus for centcom commander. If Fallon said war with Iran woulnd't happen with on his watch. WTF is going to happen with petraeus on the job?
I weep for the future.

This is not the job of the VA. The Va's job is to take care of these vets, not try to PR the issue. Once again the bush thugs have brought politics into this, and vets suffer and die. When will the American people wake up? Neither bush or McCrazy will even support the GI bill in congress. What a bunch of immoral crooked thugs.

The Bush administration’s systematic destruction of the US military continues.

They did it to Germany in the 30's & 40's: used the German Military-Industrial Machine as a battering ram to "re-shape Europe" by turning Europe to rubble (at a profit) so they could rebuild it (at a profit) as a part of the Anglo-American Corporate State (so they could continue to profit) and, as a bi-product built the American Military-Industrial Machine (so they could profit even more).

And now they're using the American Military-Industrial Machine to reshape the Middle East, turning BOTH Iraq AND the US to rubble (at a profit) so they can rebuild both (at a profit).

They call it CREATIVE DESTRUCTION - turn it to rubble (at a profit) and rebuild it (at a profit).

Did I mention their motive is PROFIT?

They = the American Fascists.

Just because BUSHCO strips financial aid from college students with drug convictions, doesn’t mean those same students are unfit to die in Iraq.
============================
The US seems to pay lip service to the idea of 'paying one's debt to society', or rehabilitation. Instead it's make one's life hell on earth, evermore, or simply, execute them.
