We all know that plenty of people with unsavory pasts end up joining our military. We don’t have to praise anything they did before they began military service, to support our servicepeople. Once they’re in, the overwhelming majority deserve our gratitude for their service, except the few who commit heinous crimes or let their personal irresponsibility endanger their fellow servicepeople and the mission.
Military service has been known to straighten up a lot of young people who needed straightening up. Pointing out specific instances where a servicemember did indeed need straightening up is hardly displaying a lack of support for our troops — all the available information about Track Palin suggests that he was indeed in the “needs straightening up” category, and I hope military service has done the trick. I certainly never criticized anything Track Palin did while in the military, because I’ve never heard a word about what he’s doing beyond what unit he’s in.
No we don't know that since they are the most vetted segment of our population.What is this smear against Palin's son that keep trying to push and why not answer the fact revealed in post 351 that you almost voted for Obama/Biden because you admired their experience and campaigning skills and only changed your mind at the last minute?

The debunked, rumor-mongering slimy smears from the liberal blogosphere and assorted Palin-haters suggesting that he was a vandal? You drink the democrap bilge like water. Explains your gushing over Obama and Biden.
he’s just another kid who enlisted because he didn’t have any better opportunities, and he deserves the same level of respect for the choice as any inner city kid who picked the army over the neighborhood drug-running gang.
It never crossed your mind that someone would join the military because of patriotism and a sense of honor by serving our country?
Of course it hasn't!
To you only little criminals would want to join the military. Same mindset as the Romney clan.
Wallow in your anti-military sewer.
Thank you for showing us your true colors.
