Support our Troops?


Once again the Bush administrations rhetoric doesn't match the reality -- read this and its no wonder they refuse to allow pictures of war dead being unloaded -- how would the American public react to a fork truck unloading in a warehouse as opposed to military honors-- Are we that embarrassed that we have to not only refuse to cover the return of our heroes but also deny them the rites to which they are entitled.

Congratulations to congress and Barbara Boxer for correcting a truly heinous disregard for our troops.


In an about-face by the U.S. government, America's fallen troops are being brought back to their families aboard charter jets instead of ordinary commercial flights, and the caskets are being met by honor guards in white gloves instead of baggage handlers with forklifts.
