1:37:00
'oh why weren't you here why didn't you do this'
1:37:02
you know it's-- I hate this country.
1:37:06
You know, you feel that a part of your soul
1:37:10
is destroyed in taking another life.
1:37:15
And-- yeah that statement is very true you--
1:37:19
cannot kill someone without killing a part of yourself.
1:37:23
If you get called up will you go back to Iraq?
1:37:25
No.
1:37:26
Why not?
1:37:27
No.
1:37:28
What repercussions do you face if you don't--
1:37:31

and professing his love for our troops,
1:38:28
he proposed cutting combat soldiers pay by 33%
1:38:33
and assistance to their families by 60%.
1:38:36
He opposed giving veterans a billion dollars more
1:38:39
in health care benefits,
1:38:41
and he supported closing veteran hospitals.
1:38:44
He tried to double the prescription drug costs
1:38:46
for veterans and opposed full benefits
1:38:49
for part-time reservists.
1:38:52
And when Staff Seargeant Brett Petriken
1:38:54
from Flint was killed in Iraq on May 26th,
