Support our Troops
The Sans Fromage recently read an article in Salon concerning the Army charging patients for meals. “For its part, the Army explains -- and defends -- the food charges at Walter Reed by saying they apply only to some outpatients, not inpatients confined to hospital beds.” but “Soldiers in medical hold are considered outpatients, but they usually live on hospital grounds -- some are put up in nearby hotels if housing on the grounds is full -- and have little choice but to buy food at the Walter Reed chow hall.”
Considering the Bush administration can find money to bribe journalists to support their policies the Sans Fromage does not know why money can’t be found to pay for food for soldiers. Does America treat its armed forces with respect and reward them for their sacrifices? Sure a dead soldier’s family gets a whooping $12,000 in death benefits. Twelve thousand dollars wouldn’t have paid for toothpicks at the Inauguration.
Maybe the Army could sell those torture hoods for Halloween costumes to raise money. They seem to have a bunch of them. That raises a question. Why did the army have those hoods to begin with? Are they standard issue?
Doesn’t it make you proud to be an American. Doesn’t it make you proud to know that our President will pay out big bucks for political gain and give short shrift to soldiers who are dying trying to fulfill Bush’s failed Iraq policy. The Sans Fromage thinks we should be sacrificing for soldiers. Oprah treats her audiences better than our soldiers are treated by our government.
