WHY DOESN'T THE GOVERNMENT
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS
FACTS & LINKS
If you want to support our troops: never send them into battle without the proper equipment.
If you want to support our troops: prepare/fund the VA hospitals.
If you want to support our troops: do not bring the caskets of fallen soldiers home in the dead of night like something to be ashamed of. Bring them home with honor & dignity like every president before you.
If you want to support the troops: give them the proper medical/family leave they deserve & stop the constant redeployments.
If you want to support the troops: don't use the military to spread democracy like Stalin tried to spread Communism in Eastern Europe.
If you want to support the troops: bring the troops home & let the C.I.A. fight Al Qaeda. The C.I.A. are trained in this type of warfare, have operated inside Pakistan (from 1979 to 1989 fighting the Russian invasion of Afghanistan) where Osama Bin Laden actually is, & can go where our military can't. We'd save thousands of American lives & billions of dollars.
So if you really want to support our troops then just bring them home.
And if you believe that the terrorist will follow us home then why haven't you secured our borders. Democrats & Republicans from the president down are guilty of putting this nations national security at risk. And for what? Cheap foreign labor. Sen. John McCains Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill was wrote by corporate lobbyist to subvert the Constitution & make legal what is now illegal. At a cost to this nations security. Crooks like these (Sen. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama & John McCain signed & still support this legislation) should be ran out of town......
instead their running for president!
If you want to support America don't vote for crooks!

www.unmetneeds.com Your donations of skill, time and money enable the Unmet Needs Program to provide assistance of many kinds to families of American service men and women here at home. 100% of your donation goes directly to a military family in need. Thank you for your generosity.
www.fisherhouse.org The Fisher House™ program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House™ Foundation donates "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.

"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. And armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few"
-- James Madison
