Veteran's Parades Are Over But Bush Regime Disregard Lives On
Now that the Veterans Day Parades and speeches are over many war vets and their families continue to ask why the Bush regime gives nothing but lip service to U.S. vets while at the same time slashing their benefits and those to their families. 750 vets sent an open letter to their "commander-in-chief" asking just that, as well as questioning the validity of the regime's occupation of Iraq. Even the commander of the conservative veterans group, the American Legion, is upset about the travesty of Whitehouse disregard of veterans benefits.
With the recent publication of Pvt. Jessica Lynch's own version of the story of her capture in Iraq and her dismay about the Pentagon's fabrications of that event, as well as some other war heroes asking hard questions of the Bush regime and demanding that Washington stop passing the buck on veterans issues, the Bush regime is facing growing opposition from the veteran community. The fact that neither Bush, nor any other high-profile neo-cons are attending funerals for the growing number of U.S. military casualties in Iraq, speaks volumes about the regime's priorities.
