Any vets among the Audiophiles here?

Mrmitch - We take excellent care of our billionaire veterans. The small people are on their own.

When the Repubs were threatening to shut down our government, I read a letter to the editor from a soldier in Iraq. He said that those who were stationed over there in the war zone would have their pay postponed and asked why Congress was going to continue receiving their checks during the shutdown. I felt he made a very good point.

It's high time we all get mad. And lets get straight about who's to blame - don't fall into The Tea Party nonsense. It's the rich who are starving vets and robbing us blind.

We owe our veterans a dept that is not being fully repaid

Yup. Isochronism is right we are in debt to our veterans and I don't think it will ever be fully repaid. I donate whenever I can to veterans charities. This is chessy but when I was selling CDs and DVDs on other sites I never shied away from selling to buyers who were in the armed forces. It was a pain in the butt filling out all that paperwork at the post office but my thoughts were at least I'm helping entertain them a small way.

Mrmitch you're preachin' to the choir brother! I'll go a step further and say all those who currently hold a seat in power who've repeatedly used patriotism and the troops as a political weapon every chance they get, whilst at the same time voting against true reforms which truly support the troops should be called out for what they truly are: HIPOCRITE'S.

Call 'em what they are...how normal workin' folk can continue to vote these thugs into office is beyond me...don't get me started. Support the troops by supporting them in deeds not empty so called patriotic words...I can't understand people continuing to fall for their crap....and obviously we don't need to specify who "they" are. Okay, I feel mucho better after venting in a forum.

Macrojack, it's encouraging to hear someone who hasn't drank their kool-aid. I just can't understand the ignorance of the public at large. Their latest invention, the "TP" created by who but one of there own who retired as a Texas house member, went to work as a lobbyist immediately after and came up with the brilliant idea of inventing the TP. Brilliant because it would take a brilliant sell job for anyone to sell Dick Armey's invention to the public at large...but ignorance alone is the biggest threat to what remains of democracy...we can't even have fair elections thanks to Diebold...America is under it's biggest threat and it's obvious to anyone who truly informs themselves with honest facts who the biggest threat to democracy is.
