Quote:The Bush administration, which has asked so much of the
armed forces, has established a pattern of dealing in bad
faith with its men and women in uniform. The callousness of
its treatment of the troops was, of course, never more
clear than in Donald Rumsfeld's high-handed response to a
soldier's question about the shortages of battle armor in
Iraq.
I wonder why it is that none....and I do mean NONE....of the
military types back from Iraq that I have talked to or any of
those I write to feel this way about it?
Jeez...that is strange. I mean...I know that all...and I do mean ALL...of the military types back from Iraq that I have talked to feel exactly that way.
That is strange!
Quote:They all universally like Secretary Rumsfield and President Bush and, while they have plenty of gripes about screw ups and conditions and stuff that goes awry, they do not blame the adminsitration in any way for
that.
Yeah...that is one for the books. The ones I talk to universally think Bush is a moron...and Rumsfeld is an uncaring lout. And they think the administration is a bunch of f**k ups.(Maybe that Rumsfield character you mentioned is someone else, though! Different spelling...may not be the same guy.)
