Who doesn’t support the troops?

Filed in Uncategorized by on August 30, 2007 2 Comments

this is such a tired, partisan attack, that I can’t believe gets any space these days And it’s terribly unjust that the sacrifices of our support troops go ignored by the big-star media. For just one example, a single military-police battalion lost 37 soldiers killed in the course of their tour. But what do we […]
