Those fools earned every penny of it, for the patriotic sacrifices they do. So are Americans, each and every one of them, they are enjoying every minute of GWB leadership. Very deservedly so, to experience this moment of mankind history and great leap forward agenda to the future.

True, the Bushies are trying to cut veterans benefits, sock it to disabled vets and pull money out of their education and health care. Remember, military personnel are low-income workers. Bush's favoring the rich hurts the soldiers. He cant get around this hypocrisy. McCain and Kerry are fighting for vets rights. This will be an issue in 2004. In fact it already is.

GWB: Screwing the Soldiers With a Smile.... An economic impact to the military....Military forces on PCS....ask them how much the US dollar now buys them on the local economy? Not very long ago the $US was worth more than the Euro. Now... 1 US Dollar = 0.88763 Euro 1 Euro (EUR) = 1.12660 US Dollar (USD) The impact to the US at large is significant in cost of imports, but the overseas military also get to spend their weak dollar in the local economy. Such a bargain. Do we officially still have a "strong dollar" policy? I'm not suggesting that the Administration actually does anything about that policy...just whether the stump speeches still claim the Administration has a "strong dollar" policy. jttmab
