He pulls a publicity stunt and ignores the mental health issues as shown at this site by genuinely concerned people.

The Bush administration has increased veteran spending more during their first term than during the entire Clinton term. Fact is, in his first six years, he has increased veteran spending more than any president since Nixon. So would you BDS libs quit trying to use us disabled veterans to promote your hatred of Bush by spreading lies about what he has done for us?

I personally know many disabled veterans from several wars who would beg to differ with you, not to mention all veterans' organizations..

And the Bush administration better have increased veteran spending, as he was only in office 8 months before starting a war that has no end in sight.

The increases look to have been pretty par for the course to me.
