The latest greatest right wing talking-lie is that the Obama administration does not care about our troops.
We could start by asking, "who has worked the hardest in the past dozen years to get them OUT of harms way and bring them home?" And "who has actually funded them with decent equipment to do their jobs." But maybe thats too esoteric.
Instead, here are just a few counter data points on legislation the democratic administration has already passed or is working to pass...

If you ask me, the Republican party and their right wing mouth-pieces owe military families a sincere and heartfelt apology for taking those brave volunteers' grief and hardship and trying to turn it into a political football for their own advantage.
And they owe the American public an apology for the constant stream of manipulative lies they have been telling for about a dozen years now.
As a bumper sticker I recently saw said,"If you aren't outraged, you aren't paying attention."
