It's amazing how ignorant politicians can be....sadly he'll probably make some people happy with that bill.

My friend Amy is very active with reservists and NYC cops (cause she's married to one and he just shipped out to Iraq.) You would not believe the crap they have dealt with from the city in regards to her health insurance, his wages, his training, blah blah blah. It's absolutely horrible.

Yes, well, you can't go indulging in a war & not expect to have to pay for it. Can you?

Dead soldiers, budget cuts cos more is spent on Defence (or Defense), increased anti-West feeling & action . . . Maybe even prosecution for illegal invasion?
