"?Noting the burden placed on military families, the vice president said the biggest burden is carried by President George W. Bush, who made the decision to commit US troops to war, and reminded the public that U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan volunteered for duty.? Yeah, that's a hell of a burden, to have to collect a six-digit salary off the taxpayers? backs while sending their kids off to die in a pointless foreign war that's netting big profits for his corporate buddies, virtually wrecking the overall economy in the process. (And note the implication that joining the military voids one of all rights to be treated in an honest and decent manner.)"
