As a veteran, the Democrats action in trying to stop the increase in troops in Iraq is a direct slap in the face of the soldiers fighting this war. No matter how they try to show it, their action is saying to our troops we do not care whether we put you in an increased dangerous way for our agenda is more important than any soldiers life. I sometimes wonder whether they have ever read the American history and seen the sacrifices that veterans have made in making this country great. Politics is more important than soldiers lives--what a stupid self serving creed our politicians have evolved and God help our country. We risked and gave our lives so we could let stupid people like this run our country----as you sew shall you reap..........
