Has President Bush Betrayed the Good Men and Women of the United States Military ??

Question

The evidence is overwelming America!

and I don't want no B.S. answers that say "what evidence"

Merry Christmas to all the Troops...and May God Bless America!

Answer 1

The list off the top of my head:

Failure to prevent the attacks on 9/11, even though the administration had been warned by virtually every spy agency in the world, including a warning from the Taliban. This inaction resulted in two wars and every death of every service member in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Manipulating or ignoring Intelligence to sell the war on Iraq to the American People, to allow his use of the Military on an insane quest for world domination, and to secure the Middle East Oil for American oil Corporations. (look at the bases built in Afghanistan, all are along the projected route of the pipeline)

Failure to secure the borders of Iraq after destruction of Iraqi Military, which allowed a PREDICTED influx of Arab fighters, Al Qaeda, and influence of the neighboring countries.

Failure to provide adequate equipment and personal and vehicle armor, resulting in many unnecessary injuries and deaths to Our Troops.

Failure to ensure the fair and proper treatment of all Iraqi prisoners. This resulting in fueling the insurgency and may well be the reason for the failure of our mission in Iraq

Failure to abide by the Geneva convention and authorizing the use of torture, the transfer of prisoner to foreign governments to be tortured, and the establishment of secret prisons in foreign countries to circumvent US law.

Failure to prevent the breakdown of authority and the prisoner abuse scandals that occurred at Abu Gahrab prison.

Failure to hold those in command accountable and only prosecuting Enlisted Personnel.

Failure to abide by the Constitution, in clear violation of his Oath of Office, by instituting a secret warrant-less wiretapping program. A program, that by his description, would likely have monitored most, if not ALL, personal phone calls from our Troops in Iraq to their loved ones in the United States.

Failure to protect the lowest income families in our country, many of which have members in the Military, by ensuring, through his policies that most of the Nation's wealth would be spent on war, at the detriment to every domestic social program.

Failure to give the Military adequate wages for Enlisted Personnel.

Failure to provide adequate oversight on Haliburton and other contractors, resulting in poor quality service to Our Troops and the waste of millions of tax dollars paid by the Men and Women of Our Military.

Failing to honor the spirit of the contracts with many Servicemen by instituting a Stop-Loss program, and keeping them in past their End Of OBLIGATED Service. This is also referred to as a reverse draft.

Failing to realize that even our Best can only survive through severe daily stress for a limited time and extending in theater time of rotations, and sending units from one combat area to the next.

Failure to promote military or related service for any of his children or those of his friends. Their refusal to invest the same personal capital as everyday Americans is an Affront to all of Our Troops. (The twins are fine - partying in South America)

Failure to realize that "Bring Em On!" reflected the epitome of the US President by our enemies, and that his statement, in fact, could have no positive effects for our Troops.

Failure to prevent the use of Depleted Uranium Weapons (do a Yahoo! search). These weapons as dangerous long term to our personnel and civilians, as they are to the vehicles,structures and persons that they are used on. They incinerate everyone and everything inside of the vehicle and release a fine radioactive dust. This dust coats everything. These particles are small enough to be carried great distances, possibly around the globe.

When inhaled by the Troops assigned to clear the vehicle or any others nearby, depending on the wind, they lodge in the lungs or are transported throughout the body. This dust emits Alpha Radiation. Internally, alpha radiation can be devastating affecting many of the bodies systems. Many of the symptoms, a coincidence only, I am sure, are the same as Gulf War Syndrome.

VA initially denied all claims related to Gulf War Syndrome or approved the claims as PTSD, saying, in effect, it was all in their heads.

Failure to take action to ensure testing, compensation and treatment of all veterans for Hepatitis C infection. Rates are higher among Veterans than the general population. The probable cause was the multi-use air injection guns used to inoculate Servicemen in boot camp. The VA refuses this theory instead focusing on sexual transmission, which has little or no basis in accepted Scientific findings.

Failure to provide adequate assistance to the 20% of the homeless population in the US that are Veterans. This number is unconscionable. If the educational benefits and post-service opportunities are so good, why are so many of our heroes homeless?

For years the front of our local VA hospital was always full of local homeless Veterans. Finally the hospital got enough complaints from passerby and the local Government so they enforced the laws and they are no longer around. Thank God - they looked so pitiful. It was just too depressing to see from the Marina. (No flames that was sarcasm)

Failing to realize that he had made a major mistake. Allowing his pride and desire to show his dad to interfere with common sense and morality. Failing to already have started withdrawal of Our Troops.

Failure to demand Mandatory funding of the VA. To date there is no law that says that the VA must be funded. Levels of funding are not increasing nearly as fast as the number of Veterans the require the services.

I am sure I have missed many things. I would suggest that rather than dismiss my assertions out of hand, that one do a little research. A couple of days of getting to the facts instead of listening to the Corporate News should change most minds.

To the troops, I believe You are ALL Heroes and I look forward to the day, Hopefully soon, that you will be permanently reunited with us and your Loved ones. Have as Merry a Christmas as possible, and know that we all stand behind you.


May God Bless America with Regime Change
BRING ALL OF OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!

Answer 2

I agree. He has no idea what the troops are going through and what the war really means to the men and women in the field. He has used up 3,000 lives on this farce of a 'democratic Iraq'. Who gives a damn? Not one life of these brave men and women is worth this damn war.

And the beauty part of Bush and his ignorance of the miliary is sending these troops for 2 and 3 tours of duty! What a fool!

God Bless these brave soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen.

Answer 3

you could actually in basic terms seem forward to the finished loss of life of the Bush kin era in the White domicile. His Father whilst President lived in the previous and fully skipped over family members politics and for that reason did no longer win a 2d term. His Son has finished no greater beneficial than continuously misinform and lie to the american human beings and its allies and led them into the midsection East conflict that, as in Vietnam, have been, are, of no issue to the democratic worldwide. All those u . s . a . & allied squaddies whose lives have been lost in the invasion and ongoing conflict in Iraq is a criminal consquence of his movements. on the final election, for unaccountable reason, the U. S. human beings re-elected him, whilst the finished worldwide looked on and oppossed his re-election. All those squaddies lost, families and their futures destroyed! what's misguided with the the peoples of the american usa? The White domicile and Capitol Hill, an entity interior of an entity, a regime so some distance faraway from the conventional existence of human beings! Presidents come an pass, even nonetheless, the interior maximum conventional golf equipment and institutes of Capitol Hill rule the White domicile and no President(s) of previous generations ever slaps them down!

Answer 4

He sent them out in too small numbers, with inadequate helmets and body armor, to drive in vehicles that were not properly armored.

He cut VA budgets, and combat pay, as well as the one-time death benefit.

I'd say "betrayed" doesn't come close.

Answer 5

After you reported me for saying that I'm ashamed that you are an American, because you said you are ashamed of it, I began reading all of your questions on here. It seems that you are a bit too preoccupied with President Bush. I am wondering if you might be a terrorist. By the way, I have reported you also.

Answer 6

Without an iota of doubt. He has been telling them they are fighting to make US a safer place. There is no greater lie. He is sacrificing them for absolutely no reason.

Answer 7

Yes he has.. like himself.. he is making a mighty force into a laughing stock.. I also back your sentiments to the troops.

Answer 8

He certainly hasn't given them a clear mission.

A soldier needs to know who he is fighting against, is it jihadists, baathists, sunnis, shiites, insurgents, dead enders??

So the answer is Yes.

Answer 9

Yes they defend haliburton, this war is about private enterprise not Americas defense issues.

Answer 10

What are you talking about, 'betrayed'?
