It's an election year, and the incumbent Commander-in-Chief is a Republican. Seems obvious to me.
This article is one in a long line of “slime the returning veteran as a potential timebomb and killer” journalism that has arisen in the past 6 months. The Wash. Post has done a lot of smear jobs on our veterans, just as they did to the Vietnam veteran.
I have a lot of friends who are well-adjusted VVs, who have not gone out and shot their neighbors, raped nuns, or drank themselves into a stupor. They got jobs, families, and a life. Many of them are prize winning authors, journalists, and bloggers.
My son is a veteran of OIF, and he saw some things that upset him, but he has adjusted to it and has a good job, friends, and is enjoying life.
This is Vietnam all over again. However, this time we fight back (we took out that lying SOB Kerry, and there are more on the list).
No more slander of, sliming of, smearing of our servicemen and women. It stops here, now!
