CJ, > The fact of the matter is that on issues which are important to military people and their families, the Republicans have pretty uniformly voted against them. Which that table reflects. The only thing it reflects is the view of Democrats. Veterans have and continue to vote Republican in most elections. Even John Kerry, who tried to run on his service in Vietnam, got a minority of the Vietnam veteran vote. Tenchusatsu

The fact of the matter is that on issues which are important to military people and their families, the Republicans have pretty uniformly voted against them. Which that table reflects. The VA has gone through several budget cuts through the years. Benefits have been cut. Since military bases are tax exempt, the military has traditionally given school districts close to bases money. Those funds have been cut. The list goes on. Its really rather sad. I don't think Republicans like Ten have a clue how niggardly the Republicans have been when it comes to the troops. It goes beyond denying they are dying and not showing their coffins. More and more, I see Republicans as the embodiment of everything a true American does not want to be.
