Sorry, not intentional, I assure you. This is the headline on the front page of the paper and as you mentioned the meat is in the last part of the article. I had a buddy that died because of the lack of armor in a Humvee in Iraq, maybe I'm a bit too sensitive to this issue. I had no idea this was a Democratic ploy.
I can understand your concern about this issue. But the fact this was Evan Bayh (Dem with Presidential ambitions) was all I needed to know this was a ploy. Your excerpt was sufficient to understand this.
The Dems are notorious for these kinds of ploys. Kerry did this all the time during his senate tenure. But at crunch time he voted against the military like all libs do. It's who they are.
...Liberals and their media shills.
I accept your assertion.
