Tonk, HiJinx, and all you other FR Vets these are the new VVAW types and they're supporting Kerry. An led by that turd SOB out of NY, Paul Rieckhoff.
MAJOR ANGER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!
It is difficult for me to believe that veterans can support Kerry after some of the things he has done, and not done as well.
Certainly there is going to be some bitching going on in the ranks, but that has always been so and always will be so. This article/group looks to me to actually be attempting to convince uninformed persons about issues in the Military.
The biggest problems (in the Army, anyhow) right now is the fact there are only ten deployable Divisions. This means that there will be a lot of deployments. That is an issue.
The Democrats made the cuts which resulted in the constricting of the Army. Once again we are learning the lessons from the Clinton Administrations. They cut Intelligence funding, fought terrorists in courtrooms with attorneys, reduced our Armed Forces, and manipulated circumstances so that the Markets declined just as President Bush came into office. Certainly the list is longer than just those things.
Some of the rhetoric coming from the democrats is ridiculous. Winning the Peace? What the heck is that? You win the Peace by kicking butt and subduing the enemy. There is so much nonsense coming from them that I can scarcely believe that anyone takes them seriously at all. It is absurd that this race is even remotely close.
