Supporting our Troops

December 21, 2007

Here's a couple of prime examples of the government supporting our troops overseas:

-- Required that soldiers discharged early because of battlefield injuries repay their enlistment bonuses.

-- Sent the longest serving National Guard unit home one day shy (729 days of combat in Iraq) of the necessary time to get education benefits.

-- Denied medical benefits to 22,000 veterans suffering post-traumatic stress by discharging them for enlisting with previous personality disorders.

Just wanted to thank Rolling Stone for bringing this to my attention. Cheers to the government.
