I'll not question the service of anyone who commanded troops in Iraq; especially a SpecOps unit.

I am from this district in Ohio, and I will not vote for Hackett for the same reason as I'd not vote for any liberal, but there is (at present) absolutely no negative information about his command time.

I have no problem with any civilian citizen disagreeing with the WAY a war is conducted. I have problems with soldiers speaking publicly against decisions that have been made...their job is to salute the flagpole and carry on.

I have problems with civilians who attempt to undermine their nation's direction by betraying the soldiers who are faithfully fighting that war for them.

Personally, I believe the war in Iraq is a just war, is a necessary war, and will be seen, once we win, as a history-changing war, settling the long islamo-fascist designs toward world domination.

"...commanding a civil affairs unit in Iraq. ...a 43-year-old lawyer..." Those words alone speak volumes. He's a stinkin lieburral lawyer. That's about all you need to know. A "civil affairs unit" commander is a looonnnngg way from a Spec Ops commander.

Nor will I. However I will most assuredly question his actions upon returning, as he publicly criticizes the war effort while his own colleagues are still under fire. Just like I didn't make a big deal of Kerry's 'Nam time and exaggerated Purple Hearts. At least he was there "reporting for duty." But I absolutely detest his treasonous actions upon his return.
