Best reason for Republicans to be outraged over the attack on Murtha
"A young American now serving in Iraq might rightly wonder whether his or her service will be deliberately misconstrued 20 years from now, in the next rendition of politically motivated spinmeisters who never had the courage to step forward and put their own lives on the line."

--James Webb, former secretary of the Navy under Ronald Reagan

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/18/opinion/18webb.html?ex=1295240400&en=f3e1d4cd5b25ed71&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss


Of course those young Americans Webb is referring to will probably be Democrats by then, so it's probably just too much to expect empathy from Republicans even in this instance. Cold-hearted shits.

5. "Support the Troops" (Unless they challenge us.)
That is what Shrubbies slogan should be. These criminals use the troops and loyalty to the troops for propoganda. If you are a veteran and oppose the regime in any way, they will come after you and try to destroy you.

How many times do we need to see this before the rest of the country gets it? These guys don't give a shit about the troops -- they are merely pawns and cannon fodder to them.

I do not see how any veteran of the armed forces could support these criminals. I am a Navy vet and I am sick over what they have done.
