10. As a former enlisted person, I take umbrage at Mr. Rye's deprecation of my vocabulary
Fuck him. :grr: Bet he's one of the backwash that still supports our oratorially gifted Prez-o-dunce.


What was his rank in the Army? If he was enlisted, how is it that he knows big words now? Did he get Hooked on Phonics as part of his Republican political training? And if he was an officer, is that in indication of what he thought of his enlisted subordinates? Asshole. I worked under officers like that. Snobbish arrogant pricks who thought their shit didn't stink because they had a degree.

Furthermore, so what if those soldiers had help writing their article. Most people can't just sit down and write something that's suitable for newspaper publication on their first try, so they ask someone to critique it and offer suggestions. I've done it before, and so have most inexperienced writers. Hell, everyone knows that most politicians don't write their own articles and books. They use ghostwriters. Don't you just bet Rye had someone help him write that op-ed?
