Iraq war amputee denied photo-op with Bush
“‘Are you telling me that I can’t go to the ceremony ’cause I’m an amputee?‘” asked David Thomas, an Iraq war veteran who was awarded a Purple Heart. Thomas was told he could not wear shorts to attend a ceremony with President Bush because the media would be there, and shorts were not advisable because the amputees would be seated in the front row. David responded, “I’m not ashamed of what I did, and y’all shouldn’t be neither.” When the guest list came out for the ceremony, his name was not on it.

Bush has never bothered to grace a single casket returning from his made-up war and he certainly will not be bothered by having an amputee mess up a photo-op at one of his phony ceremonies.
Bush and the Republicans support our troops, all right. Until they are no longer of any use.
