1. Let's see how the rethugs 'support our troops'.

Webb's bill gives soldiers 'real home time' before being thrown back in the meat grinder.

a 'reasonable cycle of deployment'. 15 months deployment, 15 months home....what a concept.

8. pfft,...the media will pay NO attention whatsoever to the needs of our troops,...
The "media" is bought and paid for and doesn't give a rat's ass about the interests of our troops, our people, our nation.

I don't mean to be condemning your belief. I am just telling you that the "media" will be quite consistent in its coverage,...of its profiteering ass.
