The sad fact is that for every politician with the balls to do the right for the troops, they are sadly outnumbered by the ones scrambling to get that ole "pork" for their districts and buy their way into reelection.
Thankfully, I don't have to interact (much) with the crop o'congressional jacka**es, but the ones that I do bump into, leave one with the feeling of having been well slimed!
