And this?

This is what supporting the troops looks like...
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-CA) praised the U.S. House of Representatives for voting today to approve legislation to help workers meet their work and family responsibilities when a loved one is deployed to a combat zone.

The legislation, offered by U.S. Reps. Jason Altmire (D-PA) and Tom Udall (D-NM) as an amendment to a larger defense bill, would allow workers to use Family and Medical Leave to deal with issues that arise as a result of the deployment of a spouse, parent, or child to a combat zone like Iraq or Afghanistan.
…which probably makes it the next candidate for a veto threat.
