Boy, how did I guess?!? This used to be such a great site, where we talked fishing and rivers, and conservation. I haven't been here for a few weeks, just figuring it would be more "Us vs. Them" lately, and sure enough! United we stand?? Riiiiiight!

While I'm here, I'll leave you all a CURRENT event to ponder:

WHAT IS PRESIDENT BUSH IS DOING FOR OUR MILITARY?

SLASHED: $28.8-BILLION from Department of Veterans Affairs

CUT: millions from veterans’ disability, rehabilitation, pension, education, compensation programs.

ABANDONED: ½-million vets backlogged in the compensation system, the 300,000 waiting 7 months for a medical appointment, the 40% of Vietnam vets that are homeless.

FORCED: veterans to pay higher and higher fees for medical services, and blocked some enrollments altogether.

CENSORED: VA Medical Centers that advertised what vet benefits are available.

STYMIED: investigation of Gulf War Syndrome, while an astonishing one-third of Gulf War I vets are disabled.

BLOCKED: The World Health Organization’s research on the effects of radioactive depleted uranium munitions used in Gulf War I "Desert Storm" Southern Iraq in 1991.

ORDERED: without conscience more than 100,000 young Americans to the radioactive contaminated desert area of Iraq, to use the same radioactive munitions!

Our government has abandoned our vets. What can our current troops expect?
