Inouye: We Should Support Our Troops, Not Cut Their Funding

While the Senate debates and amends the annual war supplemental funding bill, Senator Daniel Inouye -- a World War II veteran and Congressional Medal of Honor recipient -- reflected upon his own military service. Inouye compared his experience in World War II with the wars going on today. Now is not the time to cut defense spending, argues Inouye. "If anything, we ought to show appreciate and gratitude. We shouldn't be cutting. We should be helping."

Yes...spend where we must, to save our guys. And bring them home asap.

When all your resources embolden to serve as a recruiting tool. we need to rethink, how we chase people around a desert.

Wars should have 'term limits'. Kinda like politicians. God bless our troops, and bring them home soon. Seems we have plenty of work here between 'borders and oil spills'.
