Those points alone are enough to empahisize the crappy deal that active soliders as well as family members of deceased soliders get, why compare to 9/11 victims? Whats the point?

Rush is simply trying to manipulate his listeners in an attempt to bash the "entitlement" negative he's blamed on "liberalisim".
Personally I think our dead and injured troops do deserve a lot more, but they also signed a contract knowing they could die in their job.
As RIJIMMY says, "his comparison makes no sense".
Instead of using the 9/11 issue for partisan punditry, he should lobby for increased death benefits based on the tremendous sacrifice of our troops...
Buuuttt...that's not how Rush makes his millions now is it?
