Which Is the Military Party?
An excellent post from kos at DailyKos makes clear where the Democrats stand with the military and the Republicans and partisanship:
"For the last two presidential elections it has been the Democratic Party whose nominee was a Vietnam War veteran, while the Republicans have sputtered out spurious defenses of their candidate's deceitful draft-dodging.
On Thursday, Dick Cheney, who said he had "other priorities" in the Vietnam era, and so helped himself to five draft deferments, will address the 73rd Convention of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. I do not think he will express remorse for the callousness with which he explained his cowardice. Nor do I expect him to apologize for the shocking, mocking Republicans who, at their New York Convention a year ago, sported Band-Aids with tiny purple hearts to mock the blood shed by John Kerry and so many other heroes in that misbegotten war."
It has been very simple. A Republican executive and legislative branches have attempted to cut military pay, reservists pay, benefits for reservists and sent our soldiers to war unequipped. All of the base closing suggestions. Show me where the Republican party is supporting the military because I can't see it.
Check the entire post; its motivational.
