Republicans Exposed - No Support For Troops
Today, Senator Jim Webb exposed the Republican hypocrisy of supporting the troops. Because only three Republican Senators supported a bill that would have regulated the amount of time troops spend in combat, the vote fell four votes short of cutting off debate on the bill. Republicans seem to believe only in supporting the failed Iraq policies of George W. Bush. They could care less that our military is over committed in Iraq and spends up to 15 months over there and only up to nine months at home. This terrible policy puts our military families in tremendous stress leading to breakups in military families, and an increase in suicides among our combat veterans. America should not tolerate this inhumane treatment of our military. It is time to write our elected representatives to let them know that we do support the troops and want them home for one year for every year spent in a combat zone. Don't believe the Pentagon generals when they say this won't work. It can work. All Congress has to say is "do it!"
