Unfortunately, to the simple-minded BushBot, anyone who doesn't toe the line and parrot the Dubya Rationalization of the Week (TM) is a "traitor."
Performance over one period of time, or in a specific activity - does not inoculate them from all evil...
Some "Heroes" become serial killers..
Some "Heroes" become traitors...
Some "Heroes" were never really heroes --- but got their "card punched" to pursue a career in politics....
John Kerry comes to mind....
Benedict Arnold....Jimmy Carter...Scott Ritter.....
Hell, even a REAL warrior like Hackworth -- finally started getting most things wrong in his old age.
It always amuses me, to see how selective and ill informed most leftists are when they select whom they would regard as a "military hero"....
John Kerry provided another of his famous flip/flops, by declaring Murtha a true hero and patriot. Murtha was one of the Marines that Kerry once slandered by accusing us of ravaging Vietnam in the manner of Genghis Khan - raping, beheading, cutting off ears, killing every living thing in sight......
I see from your profile page, that another idiot is pursuing a career in the "law".....
Semper Fi
Once again, not everyone who disagrees with you is an "idiot." This was one of the most important lessons I learned early in life.
