Billions for Bombs. No support for Soldiers

OK I am a sometimes cold hearted person on this Blog but this has moved me to speak out. Unf9ortunately I can beleive that the US military officer in charge can do something like this. Why do anything to make a difference in one of OUR soldiers lives when a simple denial can cause so much pain for no actual cost. We could use the $4k to pay for another 10 minutes of civilian contractors to use here in Iraq. With four or five dogs a week that could add up to the cost of one hour of contractors time. And since it is earned overseas it is not taxable. You know I am totally against the war in Iraq but am totally for the soldiers. The military accepts that in the US citizens, they espouse the same ideas. And then they do something like this? One word comes to mind. BASTARD!!! Why does the scene from Wizard of Oz come to mind right now? Poppies, Poppies pretty smell with poison. I used part of my morning to call the senators listed. If you feel the same way make the call, or send emails. I love my country but it's leaders can piss me off big time
