OUTRAGEOUS! Takin' care of the troops, Bush administration style

Here's the neocon-style way to care for the vets who were sent into an unnecessary war on despicable lies by Bush & Cheney. Now they don't want to pay them when they come home in debilitated condition. "Compassionate conservatism" at its finest.

Let's not call it PTSD -- let's call it "Adjustment Disorder," so we don't have to pay them as much.

We’ve got some proof against these bastards.

An internal e-mail written by a Veterans Affairs Department employee suggested avoiding a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder for veterans and instead considering a diagnosis that might result in a lower disability payment.

A copy of the e-mail was distributed Thursday by the groups Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a congressional watchdog group, and VoteVets.org. The e-mail dated March 20 had been forwarded to VoteVets.org, an Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans lobbying group opposed to the Bush administration’s handling of the war and veterans issues.

“Given that we are having more and more compensation seeking veterans, I’d like to suggest that we refrain from giving a diagnosis of PTSD straight out. Consider a diagnosis of Adjustment Disorder, R/O PTSD,” the e-mail said.

Sure, just send them out to war where they get killed, maimed or PTSD and then screw them over. Sorry Charlie, it’s just a little dizziness caused by the damp weather. Come and see me in ninety days. That’s what they call "supporting the troops." At least Bush gave up his golf game to make up for your discomfort. Except he didn't--he was caught on video playing golf after he claims he "gave it up." His one "big sacrifice" for the dead soldiers and he couldn't even stick to this puny little promise. What a(n) _______!!! (fill in the blank yourself.)
