And there is no quid pro quo in the case of the promotion? No wonder Dumbyasshole was able to sell his phony war to you! What next? Attack Iran?

Dumbyasshole regressive senators are opposing the Webb-Hagel amendment (that requires that troops be rested for a duration that is at least equal to the duration they were in battle) and threatening to filibuster it. Whatever happened to that "up or down vote" argument??!! Here is what Lawrence Korb, a secretary in the Reagan administration says about the amendment : "Regardless of whether a member supports a phased withdrawal of American forces from Iraq or continues to support President Bush’s latest escalation, he or she should support the Webb-Hagel amendment to the 2008 Defense Authorization Bill. It takes two full years at home or after a one year deployment for a unit to become fully combat ready. Spending a year at home after a year in the combat zone is barely enough time to get themselves marginally ready physically and mentally for the next deployment. Giving them less time would mean sending units and individuals into battle who are not combat ready. Members cannot vote against Webb-Hagel and claim they support the troops. Sending people back for another tour without the same amount of time at home as the length of their tour is wrong strategically and morally."
