re: #65 A Cranky One

I agree about Kerry. My dad received the Bronze Star Medal (with 3 Oak Leaf Clusters) during his service in Vietnam. Those attacking Kerry insulted my father as well as all the service members who risked their lives helping others in combat. Yet the idiots denigrating the service of others call themselves patriots and true Americans. I call them morons.

Remember the mocking of the Purple Heart with the band aids at the RNC? That to me showed the complete lack of respect that the GOP really has for our nation’s veterans. A party that truly valued and respected service to one’s country wouldn’t have turned a man who disagreed with them’s military medals into something for mockery. My grandfather (Korean war vet) always loathed the chickenshits in the GOP who didn’t serve not because he saw them as cowards but because he felt they had no empathy for the men and women who experienced war and showed it by acting like Iraq was just going to be a cakewalk without a problem for our men and women serving.
