"Now, to add insult to injury, the Bush administration is cutting funding for programs that help overseas soldiers and their families. The White House has opposed increasing benefits--from $3,000 to $6,000--for families who lose a soldier in combat."

Shameful, if true. But surely it can't be true, can it? Bush was the candidate who supported the military, wasn't he? ??

Another issue. These soldiers are our best combat troops. Once we start rotating in weekend warriors, who by definition are not as trained and ready, there is much more danger of both additional casualties and mistakes. Hopefully, the resistance will be subdued by then. If not, we need to all pray even harder...
