1. .
Yeah, that really puts it into perspective. Why again do they always claim that they are the ones who support the troops?

4. Let's K&R this puppy,
It certainly puts things in perspective at the Pentagon.

Or maybe it's just a $20 million slush fund that they will be able to "borrow" from. They sure can't be counting on a victory, I mean they couldn't be fucking delusional, could they?

7. There's # 4

The symbolism of that figure is powerful. Use the public's money for a delusion...

5. I Million for the helmets and jackets and 19 m. for the CEO
who will of course drop some in to the GOP bank. What a scam.

8. VA brain injury fund cut in half to seven million
twenty million would go a long way treating the most common form of injury coming out of *'s folly.
