Number of Returning Troops with Diagnosis of PTSD

::::::::

According to unitization data from Department of Veterans Affairs,the cumulative number of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom veterans with a diagnosis of PTSD has climbed steadily. It has increased from 9,688 in last May to over 30,638 in June of this year.
With the Veterans Budget sumited by Bush for 2007 this is so underfunded the VA Hospitals will not have the funds to finsh the year of 2006 less alone 2007.
Right now returning veterans are facing huge waiting list.Do to that they are going Homeless with there Families.
As a Veteran this has made me very angry.The Republicans claim Democrats are cutting an running.These cut an ran Republicans have no right to talk.
J.Dennis Hastert cut an ran five times from Vietnam
Rove ran an hid under the Republican flag when he was 1A during Vietnam. Four time he cut an ran
VP Cheney cut an ran five times during Vietnam.Saying he had better things to do.
There is no proff that President Bush finshed his service. After someone pulled strings to get him out of the Regular Air Force cut an ran fron Vietnam.
So these Republican have no right they support the troops or veterans.
That number above does not include the number of troops in Iraq with PTSD on meds.The only way to stop this madness is to vote these non-serving non-caring people out of office in 2006.The impeach BUSH for not telling the truth about this WAR.
