And the irony of it is that GZ claims to have served. You'd think he be a bit more concerned about the atrocious treatment of US veterans. I guess there are two kinds of vets in his world, and those that were crippled either physically or mentally just don't count.

I simply cannot understand how the US government can discard these broken heroes when it would take only a miniscule percentage of the military budget to look after them properly. Well actually I can understand it with this bunch in power, but I just can't condone or forgive it. We have a lot of war vets in our family, luckily they are British not American.

So it looks like the wounded vets are screwed unless they can find a lobby group to bribe the government to provide them with the support that they have earned and deserve.

The republicans cry of "support the troops" is simply empty rhetoric. Perhaps it should be "support the troops who are still usefull for more killing". That said, where are the spineless democrats on this issue? Where is the media? Both AWOL as well.

You can even find repubs on SI that trash Max Clelland. I guess you are not a war hero unless you lose all 4 limbs in combat, and blindly support Dubya and the rest of the ghouls.

I've never seen such a revolting bunch as those that led the US into this sequence of wars of aggression.

As for GZ, I figure he'll be getting on the down escalator after he's done his time on this planet. He just wants to see more killing.
