The base housing is full and the rent is so high in San Diego that they can't afford to rent an Apt.<BR/><BR/>Others are piled in with family members or piling together into small Apt's.<BR/><BR/>It was an email read over the radio and the emailer's suggestion was to take all those FEMA trailers in the desert and use them for military housing.<BR/><BR/>Bush and our Gov are so fucked up. They want us to "support the troops" which to BushCo means not saying anything bad about the occupation of Iraq.<BR/><BR/>But when it comes to real support (helmet inserts, body armor, housing, PTSD treatment, etc) these fuckers are no where to be found.PoliShifterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524480334048786423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653541.post-1166685585087839522006-12-21T01:19:00.000-06:002006-12-21T01:19:00.000-06:00Scheise...If I was a praying kind of guy, your pos...Scheise...<BR/><BR/>If I was a praying kind of guy, your post would make me want to pray. I'll send lots of positive thoughts anyway, to the troops and their families during the holiday season. <BR/><BR/>This does have to change. I don't see how our country can survive if the Bush administration's approach goes on much longer. There are those who say our country won't survive if we don't stay in Iraq, but I totally disagree with that at this point. Our troops need to get out of there, and we need to see that Bush is out of office as soon as possible, so we can begin to repair the damage he has done. It is going to take years, so the sooner we can start, the better.Snavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13763424943041003098noreply@blogger.com
