Sorry, but it is my position that the U.S. taxpayers ought to pick up
the tab for back-home leave for soldiers risking their lives in a war zone.

Or perhaps Corporate America should pick up the tab directly. After all,
it is the corporations that will make out like bandits from Bush's war.
The vets will return home injured or ill, and be subject to third-class
treatment from the military and the VA.

Soldiers serving in a war zone always get a raw deal, while corporations
make huge profits from the aftermath of war.

Harry, if corporations are making out so well, where did this post come from?

Uh...my comment was directed towards those corporations that are or will
be involved in war profiteering as a result of Bush's dirty little war
in Afghanistan and Iraq.
