Evidently you missed the months of attacks on the servicemen in the Senate Chamber, and in the court room.
To name but one of dozens of incidents, and I’ve forgotten the Senators name, he has since (thankfully) died following surgery in a MILITARY hospital, but he attacked 5 Marines who had to spend months on jail and more than a year in court to defend their actions in Iraq. The final trial just ended with a not guilty verdict, same as the other four.
There was no defense from GWB. After willingly fighting in the war GWB authorized, he abandoned them to the enemy within, Liberals.
It was left to the military surgeon to extract justice from the Senator.
The Haditha marines. In fairness though, GWB could not have intervened because he’s in the chain of command. He couldn’t even speak publicly about the case.
