This is how Bush supports the troops

CaBhaal says...

I take issue with the way this video is titled. Explain to me exactly how this is Bush's fault?

Congress sets and approves the military budget. Congress is more interested approving pork barrel construction projects for their districts to get votes than making a meaningful budget.

The Pentagon determines a little bit of leeway in how their slice of the pie gets spent. Each service never gets enough moolah. The needs of the troops in the field must be balanced between improving quality of life or aquiring/maintaining weapons systems.

Base Commanders set and approve construction spending for their base. Often they must beg to get money to improve the conditions on their base, and every base commander is asking for money. These projects are lined up years in advance.

I've lived in dorms as bad or worse than this during my time in the military. New construction takes time and money. In fact, new dorms are currently under construction at the base shown in this video. Think of this as one more sacrifice the military makes to support freedom. If you want to see this changed, write your congressman and stop blaming Bush.
