"What is a Winter Soldier?"

It's a term these people coined in tribute (or mockery) of Tom Paine's "Summer Soldier."

"We call this investigation the "Winter Soldier Investigation." The term "Winter Soldier" is a play on words of Thomas Paine in 1776 when he spoke of the Sunshine Patriot and summertime soldiers who deserted at Valley Forge because the going was rough." -- Kerry in his Senate speech, April 1971.

But I think they came up with the idea when they were terrorizing Valled Forge in September 1970.
