Death Benefits

Bush is asking for death benefits to the families of dead soldiers to be raised from $12k to over $100k. Sounds like such a nice, thoughtful, sensitive, patriotic guy. That's some 800% increase.

It's hard getting anyone to sign up for the military these days. That happens when leaders abuse their power to make war. Bush doesn't dare draft, though he probably suspects he'll need to, in order to "win" this war and expand his oil holdings.

Do you know how they get these young men and women to become suicide bombers? That's right, they offer money, big amounts, to their families.... in the event of their death.... death benefits.

Overall your blog is pretty cool,but this portion is a little in-accurrate which goes to prove you shouldnt believe everything you hear or read in the news.Those proposals have been an ongoing fight between Vets,familys of military members,military members and the government for years, long before we ever went to Iraq and long before Bush one or two ever took office.As a matter of fact we(those in the military)are the ones asking for the increases to make sure that our families are taken care of whether we die during war or peace and have been asking for them for years.So not everything you read or hear is as it seems.Keep that in mind when you catogorize the hard work of many years and many people down to a personal attack against a president who really had nothing to do with the increase in benefits in the first place.
