<\/a><\/p>\nIt says that the Iraq War began 9 years ago today, and because we have Barack Obama, it’s over;<\/p>\n
This past December, President Barack Obama stood at Fort Bragg in front of troops returning from Iraq, and said: “Welcome home.”<\/p>\n
Across the nation, and on America’s military bases around the world, it was a momentous occasion. The war had come to a definitive, responsible end. As an Iraq War vet, I’m especially proud to say that President Obama kept his promise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Actually, Barack Obama’s promise was to have the troops home in 16 months after he took office, not 35 months. So the promise he kept was President Bush’s promise. <\/p>\n
But, apparently this a call out to veterans to join the Obama campaign, because, you know he’s done so much for us. Like increased our healthcare premiums 500%, stopped our Cost of Living Allowances for the last three years. Screwed up the VA education benefits so bad that no one knows when or if they’ll ever get their VA checks. In fact, Ed benefits are so bad now, that chief proponent of the New GI Bill Jim Webb is proposing caps to the benefits that got Democrats elected in 2008.<\/p>\n
For the record, I’m thinking neither party deserves the votes of veterans in this election because both sides have sold us down the river on the things we earned based on an unwritten promise. But, neither should they take for granted our votes. But anyone campaigning for barack Obama can’t tell me they’re looking for veterans, like this dimwit Rob Diamond, another HuffPo dingus, who sent me this email<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
