I have heard at least one too many times, if one does not support the invasion = one does not support the soldiers.
Dr Joseph Goebbels propaganda 101
I have heard it is the American citizens who appose the war which is having a negative effect on the moral of the soldiers.
Wrong wrong wrong, if you have any respect for George Washington.
He said
the morale of our nation's troops is based on the way we treat our veterans.
Who is responsible for the care of the care of the vet? Citizens who appose the war orrrrrr…..

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) The Republican majority in the U.S. Senate today turned their backs on the needs of Americas veterans as they voted to defeat an amendment by Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Senator Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii) that would have increased funding for veterans health care by $2.85 billion just three percent over last years funding levels. The Murray Amendment was defeated 47-53 in a setback for new and existing veterans throughout the country.

Murray's Plan Offered Real Help for Veterans
Quote:
Reject the Presidents proposal to cut funding to State veterans homes
Eliminate the means-test for veterans to enroll for VA care
Provide for much-needed mental health services
Reject the Presidents proposal to drive veterans away from the VA with annual user fees and increased prescription drug costs.

Halliburton was expecting a huge slice of the pie, Iraqi oil. Did not go as planed, they did not get to steal much. Oil that is, cash they stole well. Tax-free.
Those four “contractors “ who were killed, burnt and hung were Halliburton thugs, mercenaries, Blackwater.
