Imagine fighting for your country in Iraq, risking life and limb, only to be billed for your lost or damaged uniform. That's what is happening to some soldiers returning from Iraq.
They dodge roadside bombs and bullets for a year in Iraq, but for some soldiers there are no handshakes at their homecoming. Instead, they're handed a bill for damaged or missing equipment.

And in this letter, an uncle details how when his nephew handed in his Army uniform after returning home from Iraq, "they made him pay for parts of it because it was blood stained during combat along the Syrian border."
Meantime Paris Hilton is enjoying her massive tax cuts and Halliburton (who probably supplied the uniforms) it making record profits. And all the happy Republicans will sleep like babies tonight because they have a yellow ribbon on their SUV next to the Bush/Cheney bumper sticker.
