Why is the Pentagon ripping off the troops? (tags)
Explains WHY Pentagon penny-pinching budget cutters are betraying the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces.
The Bush administration has cut veteran's benefits and forced wounded soldiers to pay for hospital meals. They have kept returning sick and wounded soldiers in horrible conditions on US military bases and made them wait months for doctor's appointments. Now, they plan to close schools and commissaries on military bases and privatize the remaining commissaries. Oh well, that is more money for Halliburton, Bechtel and all other corporations which profit immensely from war.
