Just a note based on anecdotal evidence (and my personal experience)

I joined the AF in 1978 because it was “the right thing to do”. I was and am a patriot. I felt it was my duty.

Carter was president, and my first assignment (1979-1982) was to Okinawa, working on F-4s. I was proud of what I was, but Carter’s presidency made it seem as if I had to apologize for being an American. When Reagan took office, the pride in where I was from came back. While in Germany for Clinton’s presidency, it felt more normal to apologize again.

Under dems, you feel the need to say “I’m an American, I’m sorry.” When Republicans are in office, it’s more “I’m an American, you have a problem with that?”

And the examples of RATS trashing our troops could go on and on.

True. I just skimmed off a few of the better-known examples.

Thanks for the ping, nutmeg. It’s such a sad statement of the Traitors on the Left of this country. I hope God has a special place for them.

They deserve the worst for the damage they continue to do to this country, especially since they know they are lying.

Let’s not forget Senate majority leader Harry Reid who said on 19 April of this year (as reported by Anne Flaherty of the Associated Press),

“I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense, and - you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows - [know] this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday.”

He stated he thought the war could not be won through military force but only through political, economic, and diplomatic means.

...but he totally supports the troops by tearing down their morale while building up esteem of the freedom fighting terrorists.

I love these guys!

Yep, that’s another good quote. Of course, it doesn’t quite fit into the theme I was using of slamming the troops themselves.
