The Survey that prove Replugs lie Iraq War Vets Reveal the truth
Bad Equipment, stop-loss battefield stress and more paint picture of shortchanged troops

http://www.yubanet.com/artman/publish/article_43332.shtml


First ever poll of Veterans Find Troops Suffered from Inadequate Equipment in Theater

By VoteVets.org

A new poll released today of Americans service men and women who served in Iraq and Afghanistan shows that at the strat of heavey combat (2003 and 2004) , nearly half of our troops reported they did not have "up-armored" vechicles that would be considered mission capable. According to the poll, conducted by VoteVets.org Action Fund, the clear majority of veterans- both active duty personal as well as National Guard and Reservists- believe the Army and Marines are over-extended in Iraq and Afghanistan, having endured extensions of duty and stop-loss orders as the U.S. military increased operation abroad.

When the veterans polled returned home, many encountered emotional and physical health problems as well as econmic hardship, indicating that the impact of their service extends beyond their tour of duty.
