So what? Who says liberals can't be good soldiers? I doubt anyone in the military cares about your political views if you're a good soldier.
What a cop-out.
Exactly. It is common knowledge that love of country can and does cross political affiliation.
I wholeheartedly agree. A soldier in my section is deploying with the 1st Cav to Iraq and you've never seen a better worker, a more enthusiastic individual with initiative and drive to succeed at his MOS, someone willing to listen to the advice of an old soldier (even though I am an ultra-conservative and "beyond saving" politically, in his eyes). His car is decorated with "Dean for President" bumper stickers and he's intelligent enough to know who to debate politics with (me, for one, because I don't hold his youth against him) and when to just do what he's told.
Service is service ... and I could never see him pulling a Kerry when it comes time for him to ETS.
