Those lies were the basis for some significant national policy. From 1977 - 1985 (in the wake of Vietnam) there was no GI bill in this country. Pat Schroeder led the effort to defund the Vietnam Era GI bill. When the Montgomery GI was brought back it was NOT grandfathered to include those service members who had enlisted between those dates. In fact, it specifically excluded them.
So, most of the Marines who were killed or wounded in Beirut in 1983 had no GI bill. The sailors and aircrew who struck back at Quadafi had no GI bill.
John Kerry and the democrats so demonized the American military that our servicemen were castigated for a generation and it was all based on a lie.

This is how the Democrats treat our military.
There are a lot of lies to dispel, and they're reinforced by thirty years of repetition.
But it's a start.
No, it isn't fair. Now, taking that factor into consideration know that this applies to many of the Lt.Col's and above in the officer corps and the 1st Sergeants and above in the enlisted ranks. Then watch what they do and how they defend this nation and put up with the deployments and all the rest of it and still manage to lead the finest military in the world in an incredibly selfless way and it is - to me - very humbling.
To watch the democrats politicize this and then attack our military is beyond the pale.

The librats are getting more and more desperate as the election draws closer. As all FReepers are well aware, the liberal establishment will make every effort to undermine the Bush administration and its reelection campaign, using every gutter tactic available in their bag of tricks, distortions and lies. After losing the 2000 election, the Democrats are out for blood and the Kerry campaign is playing hardball, while the Bush campaign so far, is playing softball. Kerry has had an open field far too long. This election will turn on who can best capture that 5% of independent swing voters that all close elections are determined by. It's time to reveal Kerry for what he really is, an ultra liberal and euro-socialist. "Team Bush" needs to step up to the plate and go on offense. And the sooner the better.
I told the writer "www.freeper.org" when he asked for the FR Network site, and I suspect he just wrote it down wrong...
www.freerepublic.net is also the FR Network. www.freerepublic.org appears to be "under construction." I don't know who has the rights to that one.
If they want down-and-dirty political attack ads, it occurred to me, then maybe I should create some "political material" myself. And since it's my site, I can be as extremist and wicked as I want to be, without fear of being banned. Heh heh heh...

Check out the Left, oops, I mean Right:Albright's State, Soros' Estate?[Y]esterday, Tuesday, Dec. 21, 1999... Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, blocked a $500 million loan guarantee by the U.S. Export-Import Bank to the Russian company, Tyumen Oil, invoking the 1978 Chafee Amendment, i.e., claiming that the deal was supposedly contrary to the U.S. national interests... [T]he only entities which benefit from it are one George Soros, a business tycoon, and BP Amoco, a foreign-owned multinational... If in doubt, consider what the Ex-Im loan guarantee was to be used for. Tyumen wants to buy American-made oil equipment and services! About $295 million from the Dallas-based Halliburton; and some $203 million from ABB Lummus Global of Bloomfield, NJ... The Journal never mentions, for example, that George Soros is an investor in a company which Tyumen has been trying to acquire... Nor that the "troika" (BP, Soros, Tyumen) have been embroiled in a classic commercial dispute for over a year.... If the Journal were really a voice of "conservative" business interests in America, it would have screamed bloody murder on account of the former travesty (export of goods restriction), if not the latter (export of jobs).

Letters to the Editor
Why Kosovo? Follow The Money!When the Kosovo war broke out, and the "Allies" took up the cause of that Albanian terrorist gang known as the Kosovo Liberation Army, Antiwar.com received a lot of email from baffled readers who wondered: "Why Kosovo?" Here was an impoverished and isolated country in a notoriously unstable region of the world, without any strategic or military value to the US, the conquest of which could only add to our burdens. Virtually none of my correspondents believed the official explanation – that the Milosevic regime was slaughtering tens of thousands of ethnic Albanians in the province, and was determined to "cleanse" Kosovo so that it would be ethnically Serb. Since the inhabitants of Kosovo were then more than 90 percent Albanians, this would have meant the complete depopulation of the province – a policy that made absolutely no economic or political sense. The supposedly "humanitarian" motives of the NATO-crats were a fraud from the very beginning, it was clear, and in any case their fraudulence was proved after the war when UN forensic experts went in and recovered and identified a little over 2,000 bodies (including Serbs). But this only deepened the mystery, and the question went unanswered: why Kosovo, of all places, the closest thing to a Third World country in all of Europe? Over a year after the "humanitarians" bombed Belgrade and reduced much of Yugoslavia to rubble, the answer is beginning to take shape... When George Soros invested $150 million in the region – most of it backed up by fail-safe US government guarantees – he declared that this was not strictly a humanitarian effort. While known for his philanthropy, Soros said that in the case of his Balkan investments he would be guided by the concept of "tough love" and insisted that the new enterprise must be "driven purely by profit." With $100 million of the US taxpayers' money in his pocket, Soros and his gang are swooping down on the prostrate body of the Serbian nation like vultures feeding on the liver of Prometheus... Our own Olympians seem determined to visit a similar fate on the Serbs – who, for their part, seem to be guilty only of getting between George Soros and $5 billion. Analyzing two key documents – a November 1999 International Crisis Group (ICG) paper on the Trepca mining complex, and a February 2000 article in the Toronto Star by ICG consultant Susan Blaustein – Johnstone saw it all coming, and with such stunning accuracy that one can hardly believe that her piece wasn't written yesterday. What is especially revealing is the role of the International Crisis Group in fomenting the takeover of Trepca – and the role of Soros as the ICG's main sugar-daddy.
