Isn t the anti-war movement unpatriotic for not supporting our troops?
On the contrary, the anti-war movement supports our troops by urging that they be brought home immediately and that the US occupation end. But think about how the Bush administration has treated the men and women who have served in the military. The Republican-controlled House Budget Committee voted to cut $25 billion in veterans benefits over the next 10 years. The Bush administration has proposed cutting $172 million in educational funding for children of military personnel. Bush has also ordered the Dept. of Veterans Affairs to stop publicizing health benefits available to veterans.
