Likewise bashing politicians is not the same as bashing the military.
Wrong. I take issue with you criticizing the military, belittling their efforts and accusing them via a Congressional rep of presenting a facade. You're a clueless, whiny little critic who not only mocks while offering no suggestions but publicly supports those killing our troops. Not directly, of course. That would be too obvious. But the result is the same.
And you know it.
Mindlessly? You shun the truth in favor of anti-American propaganda. What other conclusion can one make?
