They're (as in, the government) cutting combat pay for Iraqi troops.

I guess this makes up for not paying taxes because they fought in the war.

Fuck this adminstration. Fuck this government. They don't care about you, unless you have a high seven figure income and a lot of influence. They don't care about those troops (whatever you may think about them being in Iraq, they're still risking their lives for this sham of a government who doesn't even care enough about them to give them toilet paper). And if you think any different, you aren't looking around at your world hard enough.

I want to commit seppuku on the White House lawn, but then the Bush administration would just be happy that another dissenter had offed themselves.

[ETA:] A most enlightening comments thread from Teresa Nielsen-Hayden, who has one of the best blogs in the world.

I hate it here.
