You need to research Gilchrist's own views, not try to tar him with views he doesn't hold. Doing that is a liberal tactic, showing how worried you Republibots are that people will catch on to the fact that your boy is an open borders liberal.
Of course, we'll stay the course until the mission is completed. Gilchrist has said that he supports that. Deal with it.
And yes, I have worn my country's uniform, and proudly so.
I supported Operation Iraqi Freedom from Day one and continue to do so. I'm Pro-America.
I'm not trying to give both sides a sales pitch in that "I oppose the invasion, but support the troops" such as you, Gilchrist, and John Kerry are doing.
