Salon.com News | Bush abandons troop-protection plan: "No president in recent memory has been a fiercer ally of men and women in uniform. 'We will not cut corners when it comes to the defense of our great land,' Bush said last year. Even Ronald Reagan, one of the most forceful proponents of a strong military ever to inhabit the White House, never donned a flight suit and flew onto the deck of an aircraft carrier aboard a Navy plane. "

I find this statement highly suspect. This administration has tried to 1) cut benefits for veterans, and 2) cut danger pay for soldiers in the field and now is cutting money to defend transports from missiles. This administration is not pro-military.
