Here is a great\u00a0Washington Post<\/a>\u00a0photo of Bush\u00a0strutting at the White House as he receives visitors from the Rolling Thunder veterans motorcycle group.<\/p>\n

It is obscene how the same politicians who send Americans to die in unnecessary wars are treated like heroes on Memorial Day.<\/p>\n

One would hope that this day, above all others, would be a time for condemning those whose lies and failures resulted in thousands of their fellow citizens being killed.<\/p>\n

I am puzzled how Vietnam Veterans could have anything but utter disdain for politicians, considering how they were sacrificed for the convenience of LBJ and Nixon.<\/p>\n

Instead, the Rolling Thunder crew proudly presented Bush with one of their leather jackets. Bush told them: \u201cI want to thank you and all your comrades for being so patriotic and loving our country as much as you do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Post article <\/font><\/strong><\/a>on the Rolling Thunder riders has evoked a tidal wave of comments, including comments from veterans furious to see Bush being treated like a hero by their fellow soldiers.<\/p>\n
