Our Troops dont deserve that!! ....If the troops werent deployed in a war zone..Id go with my first instinct. I pray more 'get it' per your post.
To not vote our side is to spit in the face of our Troops. their mission and our country = get the egos out of the way.
I think most people get that troops deserve the best commander possible. None of the Dems fit that bill. Its primary season, and the GOP hasn’t had one in 8 years; so emotions are running a little high right now. Its like a ball game and everyone is rooting for his favorite team. After the convention the base should come home for the most part and support the nominee. McCain is my last choice of the GOP, but he does get the WOT. I disagree with him on many issues; but I disagree with Bush on issues also.
The Dems have spent the last year trying to lose the war, We have to try to keep them from the WH. The troops have done their job on the battlefield, we have to do ours at the ballot box. Even if its distasteful to do so; war ain’t a 4th July picnic for the soldiers either.
