This Time It's Bush Spitting on the Soldiers

by Sandy Sand


Iraq is not Vietnam, but our soldiers are still being spat upon, only this time it's by their own President and government.

The individual G.I. in Vietnam did not have the support of his fellow citizens, today's Iraq soldier does; it's the war that's not supported.

The Vietnam vet was spat upon by the public; today's soldier in Iraq is being spat upon by the very government that sent him to Iraq to be killed, maimed and emotionally traumatized.

I've been told that it's not nice for person of the female persuasion to use the "F" word, and I'll try to be polite, but U.S. service men and women are being royally F**KED over by the Bush Administration in big CAPITAL letters.

The truth is Bush doesn't give a damn about the fighting forces. They're only of value to him when they're either in the womb or he's flagrantly using them for photo-ops.

Bush spat in their faces when he originally sent them into battle underarmored, underequipped, undermanned and based on a gross pack of lies.
