I don’t think that was a swipe at the military.. my immediate thought was the NY Times mentioned Fuller was a veteran right off the bat to cushion the negative reaction of him making the death threat.
Possibly. So you think they want to make this loser look good?
My initial reaction was that they were displaying their own bigotry. One of the first lies the libs told about Loughner was that he was an Afghanistan veteran. They were certainly not trying to make him look good since the second lie they told was that he was a Tea Partier.
