So JohnH, I assume (from something in one of your post a while back) that
you were in the military. You think it's great to have a CinC who turns his
back on
military casualties?

Yes, I was. The President is not "turning his back on military
casualties". This
is a great example of tripe developed by libs. No one could reasonably
expect
the President to welcome every plane that arrives at Dover carrying
wounded or
deceased military. He does have a few other things to do.

I'd like to hear you repeat that for a room full of ex-parents, widows and
fatherless children.

I have been the Survivor Assistance Officer for my share of casualties. Not one
has ever had the idea that their son's remains be met at the CONUS arrival
facility by the President. If it's such a big shortcoming, why hasn't the Senate
minority leader, Daschle, made the trip to Dover? Is he being disrespectful? He
isn't the President, or CinC, but so what? He considers himself to be a very
important person with much higher standing than the President.

We're not talking about the asshole in office never attending a single
funeral, we're talking about the systematic hiding of casualties and the
poor treatment the people who've been injured in Iraq are receiving.

Our heros are second class citizens whose benefits, pay and basic humane
treatment (such as bullet proof vests) are overlooked or purposely denied by
this administration.

Shame on all of us for letting this happen.

It's part of the Bush program of hiding from the public and hiding from
the media so the tough questions aren't asked.

We can't have the presidential doofus put on the spot, after all.
