empty words

De facto President George W. Bush said during the State of the Union that he supported a move to let troops give unused education benefits to family members.

And then he submitted a budget to Congress that did not include one dime to fund this idea. More empty words from a master liar.

And the sad thing is, a lot of our service members think Bush is the bee's knees. Even as he screws them by sending them to war in unarmored vehicles and with inadequate body armor. As he screws them with insufficient funding for the Veterans Administration hospital system. As he and his Pentagon dick around with injured troops arguing over whether having your legs blown off by an IED makes you fully disabled or merely 75% disabled so the Pentagon can save a few bucks at the injured party's expense.
