Any funding bill for that war should include appropriation
for the medical and mental health costs associated with the deployments in the future- all of them.

Right thing to do. Just another cost of war, right??

It will have an interesting impact I think. Because the estimates I saw for these health costs are a trillion dollars. So - B*sh requests 100 billion dollars - Democrats push an amendment to fund these health costs and turns out a trillion dollar Bill.

Lets see just who supports the "troops" then.

Call their bluff.
