To be fair, the pentagon is run by apointees made by Bush.
IF a democrat in the pentagon was responsible for hating on the troops like this, you'd have tony snow doing hamlet for the white house press corps, going on and on about the tragedy of it all.
this is a policy issue, and policy has been set for the last 6 years in the pentagon by rummy then gates, both bush boys.
please refrain from not blaming who is responsible.
