for of all those who served their country do it in different ways. Hagel has hurt the troops more than helped them. Benedict Arnold served didnt he?

It seems there is a strong defeatist strain among some people who served in Vietnam.

Too bad Ole Bennie’s punishment is not still applied to traitors. ‘Course, that would reduce the number in Congress pretty quick...

To me, Hagel is “Benedict” Hagel. There are many ways of serving one’s country, such as warning the public about the plans of the Democrats to LOSE in Iraq.

Yes, he served valiently in the opinion of most historians.

A few may be missing the real point on Rush's 'phony troops.' For the most part, they don't exist except in the imaginations of a few Dem callers on his show.

Not only served, but served with distinction, and was a genuine war hero. In fact, it's not going too far to say that he saved the colonial army from defeat at one point. Check into his service during the battle of Lake Champlaign (sp?).

Of course, later on he turned traitor.
