A private study recently estimated that about 300,000 troops are showing symptoms of either PTSD or depression.

I'll go with the private study over the Bush government


They are destroying our Army

4. Not unprecedented
The same happened to Vietnam vets.

You'd think we'd be better than this 40 years on. You'd think we'd have learned by now that Repubs bring nothing but shame on this country every time.

5. They've managed to master the soundbites
and somehow portray themselves as the ones best for the troops.

3. On purpose for a world mercinary one. DA!
We pay for them to be used against us in the future.

There are depressed military and citizens. Bush has failed to lead. He infact has caused most the problems yet they won't impeach. Incredible Democrats.
