How's this for supporting the troops?

@ 07:57 PM (34 months, 16 days ago)

When it comes to supporting the troops, the Department of Defense doesn't appear to be holding up its end of the bargain very well.

That's the ONLY conclusion that can be drawn from an article in the Army Times.

According to the Army Times, the Defense Department is laying off most of the case workers who truly do God's work---helping our wounded service members.

The case workers assist wounded service men and women who have questions about their benefits, need finanical resources, want to return to duty, or simply integrate back into civilian life.

Yet, many of these case workers who have served as advocates for our brave service members have been told to pack their bags. 

Sources say case workers for wounded laid off

  1. Smart move on the bush admin's part - where do you think they are going to get the money from to pay for the "surge"? Not only do they pay less hired help but they slow down the outflow that rightly belongs to the wounded vets! - the bastards
