More Thougts About The Convention

Where was all this veneration of military service and respect for veterans four years ago, when the GOP was openly mocking a man who'd fought (on the ground, not in a jet) in Vietnam? Was Mike Huckabee telling parables that year in defense of the veteran who was wounded to "earn the desk" for us? Why wasn't the GOP defending the honor of that man, instead of lying about him?

It turns my stomach to see these claims to honor the service of the military from the people who were wearing purple heart band-aids in their last convention. They don't really give a crap about military service, unless they can use it to there advantage.

You know, the thing about real military heroes is that they don't keep telling people about their service. They don't have to.
