Did anyone see this story on today's Democracy Now.
Army Wants Wounded Soldiers to Return Bonuses
The Pentagon is forcing thousands of wounded veterans to return signing bonuses they received for joining the army. The military says the injured soldiers aren’t entitled to the money because they didn’t complete their full tour of duty. Jordan Fox of Pennsylvania left the military three months early after being hit by a roadside bomb in Iraq. He sustained back injuries and lost all vision in his right eye. Earlier this month he received a Pentagon letter asking him to return some three thousand dollars in sign-up bonuses. Fox and his mother had recently started a program to send thousands of care packages to servicemembers in Iraq.
After hearing this can anyone still say that support of this administration is Patriotic and Supports our Troops.

To Smoker06. Generally, Amy Goodman gests a story about two weeks before the rest of the media catches up. I feel that unless people involved speak up, they will ignore this story if they can for as long as they can

Apparently, you are reading wranglings spewed by the likes of Al Franken, and other ultra liberal commentators and radical left writers who will denigrate the Administration, and American efforts at every turn. Instead of quoting do some reading and ask veterans who have fought in Iraq if they were treated fairly, received proper support and treatment of their injuries. If they confirm they were mistreated then you have a valid argument. Otherwise you are not using the brain that God gave you.

Yes, I believe this administration is patriotic and supports our troops. Does ANYONE really believe the media any more these days? Consider the news source. This sounds like another media attack on our President. The left wing media is biased and has lost all credibility with me.
