2. It just slays me how some twenty-something twit feels it's all right to talk over a US Senator.
To interrupt him so often that he finally has to stand his ground and say, 'Let me just say this.' It's disgusting. Here's a military vet who fought for his country and was working in the Pentagon before this botoxed bimbo even cut her first tooth, who knows more about the subject than she could ever absorb from her network cliff notes—aargh. Thank god I don't have cable so I only have to see YouTube clips of such overweening arrogance. I'd have a worse case of high blood pressure than I already do.
During Vietnam you did 1 year tour and you were out - period. And to this day there are veterans that are still suffering from their experiences there. In Iraq there are troops on their 4th tour.
In every other civilized country soldiers get a minimum of twice the recovery time at home as they spent in a war zone. Some get up to 4 times the amount. To do what we're asking our soldiers to do is inhuman and insane.
We're no more a Nation of peace than Attila the Hun was a pacifist. And this country will suffer the consequences of this more than any before us. As Bob Dylan sang, "a hard rain is gonna fall"
I really admire Jim Webb and the efforts he's making to actually support our troops, instead of just talking a load of BS and then screwing them over like some people.
