| Screwing of our citizen soliders? |
|
Heard a disturbing theory about the rotation of National Guard units in Iraq. Apparently to qualify for benefits, National Guards need to be in the field for something like a year and a day. By bringing them home before this time limit, ensures that they can't qualify for benefits.
Is this plausable? If so, I guess Bush did learn something as a CEO. Will these troop rotations avoid granting our citizen soldiers benefits (especially medical)?

I think you're on to something! And if Islamic freedom fighters kill all our soldiers, Bush can save even more money by sending public school teachers to Iraq. They're used to getting screwed, and they accept it without complaining.
