"If a young fellow has an option of having a decent career, or joining the Army to fight in Iraq, you can bet your life that he would not be in Iraq.
Apparently this idiot doesn't know anyone in the military. I suggest he try and meet some. For example, my Friend who just deployed to Iraq - a mechanic by trade, left a great paying job to make squat in the military in Iraq. They are holding his job for him when he gets back.
His comments are so stupid, it is hardly worth noting them except for the incredible insult to the talent and integrity of the men and women who are willingly fighting so he can stand in public and insult them.
But what do you expect from the party of surrender. They were practicing their "new direction" in Iraq early on election night.
