Okay, Congressional Dems, here's a quick lesson in politics for you...

On the report that the Pentagon is demanding a refund of enlistment bonuses because war injured soldiers can't meet the requirements of their enlistment - harp on this idiotic mandate from the Pentagon, and then write some damned legislation making sure they get their money. Also, be sure to remind the ignorant American people that REPUBLICANS are in charge of the executive branch.

Get on TV, pound your fists and yell that you are as mad as hell that this is happening.

1. Yes, not to mention that 25% of Iraq War vets are now homeless!

While many others are coming back with scrambled brains and inadequate treatment.

2. Not quite true. One in four homeless are veterans, and some of those are from the Iraq war.

Not the other way around.

Tragic however you look at it.
