In the President's address to the troops in Baghdad, yesterday, this is what he had to say with respect to support of the same (video link, here):
“In the federal budget that I have introduced will increase support for military families to make sure that the commitment we make to our veterans is met and so that people don’t have to fight for what they have earned.”
Hmmm…..
Recall this is the same man who floated the worst idea ever by wanting injured troops to pay for combat-related injuries out of pocket. He later backed off after intense criticism from veterans groups (not that this whole sad-sack affair was widely broadcast) but the damage had been done in our minds. Who even conjures up sick stuff like that?
We hope the CinC learned his lesson. We’re hopeful but we’ve got a bad feeling we haven’t seen the last of the worst idea ever.

It's interesting that he is defunding their weapons, but paying them more. Is that a good trade?
I say we are more than 3/4 the way to a private, mercenary military now, let go the distance and cut the charades
I kinda like the sound of that.
