Cost of War
I’m learning to navigate each day by my hearts intuitive feelings, bridging with my mind to be less judgmental and more forgiving. This is real difficult when so much of today’s news has to do with anger, fear, blame, jealousy, selfish ambition and depression.
This Monday I will join 24 million veterans in remembering those comrades who have lost their lives in war. However, the above-mentioned attitudes are blocking attempts to show real compassion for our heroes in a new comprehensive GI Bill. How can some of our leaders continue to take away the hopes and dreams of service personal, the very leaders eager to continue spending billions to carry on an illegal war in Iraq?

As a post-note, today’s (May 26, 2008) NY Times has an editorial, “Mr. Bush and the G.I. Bill,” on Bush’s position, which is against the New G.I. Bill. Sadly, one of our Texas Senators is against the bill. (I will leave it to you to guess which one.)

Here’s another one — even the credit industry has taken advantaged of soldiers as it has the poor in general. Bloomburg reported today that foreclosures in military towns are four times the national rate. Plus Fox News defends the Bush & McCain positions against the new G.I. Bill. go figure!!
