“In the previous decade, opposing war led to accusations: ‘You don’t support the troops.’ But who really hates the troops? Might it be politicians who use them as props? Might it be that Congress hates the troops so much, that they’ll use them to create a slush fund? There will be a 39% cut in troops in Afghanistan, but the war budget will fall by only 2%! Troops died. Congress uses their memory to get pet pork programs. And this happens, while boasting that the Defense ‘base’ budget is down.”
