This guy is just a Dem hack. I really don't get his comment about Allen West in relation to moral superiority.

Ten reasons = 1 very good reason...
Not to vote for the person who came up with the ten reasons.

Cause most of them are “domestic terry wrists” hiding in sleeper cells?

West simply demonstrated that he is a POLITICIAN - and as such, will do or say anything, to anyone, to get your vote (and his job).
His votes on NDAA and USDA Pigford, his “Justice for Trayvon” comments, and his backpedalling away from Odinga’s forgeries should tell you all about his character.
Yes, this writer is a Socialist. But even the blind squirrel found a nut: being a veteran does not insulate you from accountability, any more than being black.

The current Congress has 88 veterans in the House and 18 in the Senate. That's a representation of 16 and 36 percent, respectively.
He also doesn't know how to divide 18 by 100.

Agree, Allen West’s morals are far, far superior to the vast majority the house and senate.

...And apparently they’re really bad at math (or at least this moron is). 18 veteran senators out of 100 is not equal to 36%!

BTW, I won’t insult anyone’s intelligence by posting the correct percentage of representation by vets in the Senate, but in the House, it’s 88 out of 435 which is also given incorrectly in the original article; it should be 20.2%.

What happened to Star & Stripes?
When the military magazine is telling active duty soldiers they’re not as good as civilians, something is terribly wrong.

3. We make a mess of the dialogue. The Gansler/Brown controversy isn't the only kerfuffle over veteran political candidates in recent memory. Remember Swift Boat Veterans for Truth? How about Special Operations For America? The only things that make a bigger mess of American elections than our wars are the people who fight them.This guy hates our veterans but loves John Kerry & Barack Obama
What a dickhead.

FWIW, Maryland has another vet running for governor,
Charles Lollar. From what little I've seen, he's still an impressive man - with little chance.

He doesn’t like it when somebody speaks for the Veterans, and then he purports to speak for the Veterans.

This guy is obviously 1 of the few RAT Veterans.
If this Country was ran by Veterans we would be in much better shape!

Disagree on part 1. Look at the composition of the military today and over the past decade or so. Gays, minorities, illegal immigrants, former gang bangers. The military is teeming with liberals
Part 2: Heck no. If Americans realized how much money the Pentagon wastes every year, we would all demand the military shutdown
