The Air Force Times has posted a sad story , and one that I can relate to. With the airlines declaring bankruptcy due to the cost of rising gas prices and the laissez-faire economic policies of the Bush Administration, some military personnel coming home from Iraq for leave or for good are having their flights cancelled. Soldiers could be sitting in airports for up to a week.
I guess I should be glad when I came home on my leave that I only waited 45 minutes for a flight. After flying for 23 hours from Kuwait to Dallas, another 5-hour flight to Seattle wasn’t a problem!
Please write your airline and tell them to expedite getting the troops home – after 15 months of daily combat, waiting in the airport for another week would feel like an eternity for them.

Despite claims that the military has great travel benefits, they still can’t do basic things correctly.
