Support the troops? Respect the troops? Put a magnet on your car?
When a female US officer in Iraq is beaten, raped, teeth knocked in, set on fire, has lye poured on their vagina, and dragged to another location [ a military contractor's tent], what does the Army rule as cause of death: suicide. Unbelievable. PFC LaVena Johnson deserves better than that. Her father, who previously served in the U.S. Army and worked and retired as a civilian personnel specialist for the Army, got involved and found documents and photos that suggest foul play in her death.
It's a cover up and the story needs to come to light. Contact your representatives in the House and Senate to demand a full scale Congressional investigation begin immediately. Watch the video from Cenk of The Young Turks.
The Army has been complicit in the cover up of many things, the fratricide of Pat Tillman and bogus rescue of Jessica Lynch, to name a few. It is all a front to present this image of the military to America as honorable and doing the hard jobs to protect us. I'm OK with that, most people in the military do a great job, but let's not forget why they are there: to make a paycheck. All this good vibes about freedom is BS, take away their signing bonuses and incentives and you'd see a mass exodus.
