I WANT MY GI SON TO SERVE UNDER BUSH
by Steve Dunleavy
THE cliché goes: "Just business, nothing personal."
The hell it is.
John Kerry makes me weak in the ankles — and now it's personal, not business.
In the next few days, there will be a person reporting for duty in Iraq. His name is Army Capt. Peter J. Dunleavy.
Capt. Peter J. Dunleavy is not one ounce more special than the guys and gals he will go to Iraq with — no more special than the thousands of the brave boys and girls who have gone before him, and those who will certainly go after him.

And yet, John Kerry makes it look like those guys and gals are just victims — wrong war, wrong time, wrong place.
How dare he say that to our brave boys and girls? How dare he whisper it — let alone shout it to the whole world?

"Dude, don't worry about it," Capt. Pete says again.
And that's the attitude of the thousands below him and above him, the brave men and women doing the fighting.
But this father does worry — and worries even more about John Kerry.
When John Kerry says wrong war, wrong time, wrong place he undermines not my boy, but our boys. He embarrasses the United States abroad and he saps morale.
And that demands the severest reprimand. It is duplicity and cowardice and political opportunism of the worst kind. It's enough to make you cry.
I don't care what's on your watch, Sen. Kerry, this one's on my watch.

The Steve Dunleavey article made me cry and then it made me really really mad at Kerry. Who the *(@&^ Kerry think he is, to demoralize our military personnel just so that he can be prez? I'd better quit now so I don't get banned...
