An editorial from today's NY Times show how, as ever, the republicons prance around with Chinese-made flag-lapel pins claiming to be 'patriots,' while trashing our sons and daughters in uniform, and in particular our veterans.
Ptoooey on the chickenhawk republicon leadership, and their abuse of our sons and daughters in the military service.

Mr. Bush and the G.I. Bill
President Bush opposes a new G.I. Bill of Rights. He worries that if the traditional path to college for service members since World War II is improved and expanded for the post-9/11 generation, too many people will take it.

He is wrong, but at least he is consistent. Having saddled the military with a botched, unwinnable war, having squandered soldiers’ lives and failed them in so many ways, the commander in chief now resists giving the troops a chance at better futures out of uniform. He does this on the ground that the bill is too generous and may discourage re-enlistment, further weakening the military he has done so much to break.
