So this may actually impact the election? I really don't understand why it would.
This was their intent, I believe. However, I'm sure the paper doesn't have the clout it once did. What will be difficult for the good guys is that newsies will tout this as "proof" that the military no longer supports the war.
Because people think it is affiliated with the military in some way, and that if the military is aginst the Republicans, then civilians should be too.
