Love the War, Screw the Soldier

One of the GOP's most fantastic blind spots is the ill care for our own troops. The party of moral values has cut soldiers benefits during this war, added a new yearly $230 fee for them to buy into their own health coverage, has been unclear to the national guardsman and reservists that their health coverage will be much less significant that career soldiers (about 1/10 as much govt. support), and the ultimate kick in the ass, families of active duty soldiers are beginning to report by the hundreds that they're having trouble maintaining their homes, and that banks are quick to turn a deaf ear and begin procedures to foreclose.
