Pregnant Women, Injured Soldiers Sent Back to Iraq

I almost forgot the most disgusting thing I read over the weekend. Friday night I read a horrifying column on Salon.com.

I guess being a small time blogger, I can be forgiven for not mentioning this. What's the Mainstream Media's excuse though?

From the column:

He was shocked by what he saw inside: There were dozens of other hurt soldiers. Some were on crutches, and others had arms in slings. Some had debilitating back injuries. And nearby was another tent, housing female soldiers with health issues ranging from injuries to pregnancy.

Military experts say they suspect that the deployment to Fort Irwin of injured soldiers was an effort to pump up manpower statistics used to show the readiness of Army units.

US News & World Report confirmed that the Military is downgrading serious injuries to send these soldiers back and prop up those readiness statistics.

These bastards know no limit on how low they will sink to get money to their political donors. Contracts and Contributors come first. People are just pawns in their big money game.

If this doesn't show (along with Walter Reed) what this Administration thinks about the troops, nothing does. Support The Troops my ass. How about proving it with some action, not a fucking bumper sticker slogan.

These thugs are inhuman.
