WHO SUPPORTS THE TROOPS?

(h/t Steve Benen)

The GOP senators don't because they objected to a bill submitted by Sen. Patty Murray's (D-Wash.) that would "expand assistance for homeless women veterans and homeless veterans with children and would increase funding and extend federal grant programs to address the unique challenges faced by these veterans."

Sen. Coburn (R-OKLA) was concerned about the funding but didn't offer a way to provide it.

Kucinich is among the only 60 Democrats and 5 Republicans who really support the US troops in Afghanistan.
