Green reports from 2 days of duty in Iraq

Wis. Congressman and gov wannabe Mark Green spent Memorial Day in Iraq, visiting Wisconsin troops, and brought home great news from his whirlwind two-day visit.

From WisPolitics report: Adequate supplies of reinforced armor was an issue in previous months, but Green said “there is more than enough money that Congress has appropriated” to support supplies of up-to-date technology and other armor devices for trucks and humvees.

They are a long way from home, and morale was high,” Green said of the numerous conversations he had with soldiers.

Glad to hear there is plenty of money to take care of the troops. Don't suppose Green happened to mention his vote in the House, just a few days before Memorial Day, against extending health insurance benefits to National Guard and Reservists and their families when they return from active duty in Iraq. Morale might even be a little higher if we did right by these men and women who are risking their lives.

As a member of Congress, Green didn't have to worry about health care coverage when he got back. He's got one of the best health coverage packages in the world. What, me worry?
