Washington, D.C. U.S. Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA), ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, will be meeting with President Bush today regarding his Wounded Warrior proposal to Congress. During todays meeting, Congressman Hunter intends to also suggest that State Department personnel who refuse deployment to Baghdad be replaced with wounded veterans at Walter Reed and Bethesda hospitals.
When the State Department appears to be filled with reluctant personnel, lets turn to those who have bravely followed the American flag in the most dangerous of assignments, said Congressman Hunter. The U.S. Marines, soldiers, airmen and Navy personnel presently recovering at our national military hospitals have all the character required by the Department of State. They are brave, loyal, intelligent and fiercely determined to win the War on Terror.
They are veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters and you can be sure that when called on for difficult assignments, they wont convene a town meeting to protest. Especially for those whose mobility has been impaired by wounds, State Department positions, not only in Baghdad but around the world, will provide excellent jobs as well as availing our nation of their enormous talent.
Hunter will recommend a team of State Department recruiters be immediately sent to Walter Reed and Bethesda hospitals, as well as posting application forms on relevant employment websites.
Lets replace these reluctant Nellies with Americas finest citizens, concluded Hunter. Our wounded warriors will serve our country efficiently, effectively and with undying patriotism.
This is a brilliant idea by Duncan to offer jobs to our heroes at Bethesda and Walter Reed.
I'm certain that liberals and bed wetters are doing the crying about force staffing at the embassy in Baghdad. The state department needs a desperate courtesy flush.
WOW, and I thought I was impressed before!
“The State Dept. is full of pinko careerists anyway.”
THAT is the ONLY problem I see with this idea. These wounded war heroes accepting the job as Diplomats would be under the control of the State Dept. “Pinkoes”.
The mid and lower level “workers” in our embassies that I have met would not make it a month in any company not union controlled.
They are not there to help America but to feather their own nest.
BUMP
>Perhaps I should send another Franklin.<
Oh, please send several!

I’d love to, but I’m planning a trip to Europe next year and I kinda need all the funds I can hold on to.
But when I get my Hunter’s Rangers cap, I’ll likely donate another :)
Oh dear! It’s a jungle out there! The exchange rate is so bad now. Hopefully things will look better for you next year. Wear your cap with pride.
Meanwhile, back in the States, we have an election to win. :)
A fantastic idea, from a fantastic American.
Funny, how very little lamestream media attention was paid to Congressman Hunter during the California fires when he damn near singlehandedly convinced the Air National Guards in several states to send their C-130s to California to help with disbursing flame retardant materials because the California ANG planes were not so equipped.
Duncan Hunter has the experience, the character, the courage and steadfastness to lead our Nation.
Which I suppose, explains why such a concerted effort seems to be underway to minimize, deemphasize and trivalize his candidacy.
This is a fantastic idea. Thank you Mr. Hunter.
Pissant, thanks for all the pings.
Mr. Hunter is the only one I feel absolutely comfortable voting for.
AMEN TO THAT!!! KEEP MOVING FORWARD DUNCAN!!!
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Nevertheless...if Drudge would headline it, Rush, etc., would talk about it...put it on the O’Reilly Factor and FOX & Friends...it’ll have served its purpose.
I'd like to see him as Secretary of State.
The important difference (like it or not) is that Hunter stands no chance of winning the nomination, and Thompson has a good chance of being nominated (and winning the election).
Not John Bolton?
Do we still have to pay the Clinton-appointed employees-for-life that refuse to go?
Hunter needs to keep doing this. He is getting stronger, but it is getting late.
