Bush-Cheney exploited and lied to our troops. They have used them as campaign props more times than all previous administrations combined. Yet what was the payback?

Bush-Cheney lied to the troops. They sent them into a warzone, promising them it would be easy and they'd be home within months. They told them Saddam was an imminent threat to the US with tons of WMD. They told them Saddam was allied with Al Qaida and had something to do with 9-11. They told them democracy was the key to the Middle East and making the US safer. They even claimed the war would bring down gas prices and that Iraqi oil would pay for everything. Plus, they claimed they had a huge coalition of the willing, which actually included tiny nations which had no military.

Next, once things turned bad, Bush-Cheney did not supply the troops with proper armor. They covered up their deaths and maimings and claimed there was no problem. Bush-cheney were forced not to cut the troops health care benefits. They wanted to. But they're still cutting veterans benefits.

Our troops are great and loyal, but the one thing they ask is that the commander in chief and his people be smart, think things out, be honest with them and don't send them into quagmires like Vietnam and Iraq. Bush-cheney have betrayed the troops. They also betrayed them by lying about Kerry, who is the #1 supporter of veterans rights in the senate, and a leader who knows how to plan and win wars.
