If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq and not the president who got us stuck there, they're crazy. This is the classic G.O.P. playbook. I’m sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did.

Nowhere in this insane rant does he defend his statement. He just defends his right not to be criticized because he served. Just like Murtha, M J Fox, etc. can't be criticized. Rush actually does know these people better than they know themselves.

Veteran of anti-war demonstrations. Veteran of unauthorized meetings with the North Vietnamese. Veteran of the Jane Fonda fan club. Veteran of Congressional committee meetings in which he bashed the military. C'mon Johnny boy, you can't escape your past.

Good point. And by the way, if military service was so important (as a wedge against those who didn't), then how the bloody hell did an ADMITTED draft dodger and military loather win TWO presidential terms over two REAL military/war heroes? (Bush 41 and Bob Dole)
