It keeps getting worse

This divide in our country - you know, the big one about our freedoms, what they are, who can exercise them, etc - just keeps getting bigger. I offer a hearty tip o' the hat to the American Legion(biggest veteran's group in the world according to their website) and its 2.7 million members for their enthusiastic support of our country and its government. As they say “The American Legion fully supports the president of the United States, the United States Congress and the men, women and leadership of our armed forces as they are engaged in the global war on terrorism and the troops who are engaged in protecting our values and way of life.”

So does that mean they're going to expand the ranks of the French Foreign Legion when it's finally revealed that America is the biggest terrorist nation on earth? What on earth is possessing these people? Do they not understand that the current administration DOES NOT CARE AT ALL about veterans except for the occasional media demo? If our current admin cared, why are they cutting vet's benefits and refusing to honor those killed in the war by not allowing publicity around the returning coffins?

Is there some unwritten law that says "When you become a vet, you are instantly and forever blinded to any potential stupidity, lack of ethics, corruption, or or downright murderous behavior of the government of the United States?" I know there are also vet groups that oppose the war and Bush's policies but good grief - how could an organization whose members stand to lose so much possibly support that conniving bastard?
