What a crock. To misuse patriotism in this way is worse than the attacks on Sep 11. These idiots don’t give a rat’s ass about the country, they’re only interested in their fat wallets and their fat ass reputations. If they had an ounce of honor or real patriotism between them, they’d own up to the biggest blunder since Viet Nam and show that a real American knows how to say, “I’m sorry, I screwed up, and I want to make it right.” Won’t happen though, they haven’t bled the American taxpayer quite dry yet. The shrub and the rest of the weeds should have a flag shoved down their throats until they choke. I’m pissed.

There’s also the fact that the biggest screw-ups in this Administration never really go away or get reprimanded… instead, they get promotions and more power, or some cushy job as a lobbyist or as a “security” contractor, often times in the very firms they awarded contracts to while in office.

This “using” of veterans and their families to promote their “profit at all costs” agenda is not very different from what they did after 9/11. These people are like maggots.
