I read a good article today,

about Scott Olsen, the Iraq vet who was shot in the head during an 'Occupy' demonstration in Oakland. He joined the military, cuz there was nothing else availailabe, and he wanted money for college. He realized, after it was too late, as he listened to FOXNews, which was the only TV available to the 'grunts', that there was a huge disconnect between what was being reported, and what he saw. He and his buddies were laid off, to save money, by private contractors who made 3 times as much. This was after 'private contractors' were paid over $360 mil, to upgrade the computers on ONE ship, that he was on. Wanna guess why the Repubs like perpetual war? Not even counting the MASSIVE amounts of oil money to fuel the military. Never mind, if you don't understand by now, you never will. It's HUGE money, and the Pubs get most of it, just like Viet Nam. Some things never change.
