Actually was going to let Torone's comment slide here as I covered it in another thread... But since it was brought back up and I was quoted I guess I'll point out why I feel he errs....
Bush is an elected official, he is not a 'troop', he is not putting his ass on the line...
That presently unknown Marine that was KIA earlier today... He was a troop, a brother to every one of us who ever wore the uniform and a son of every American... I and others support that man, he swore to put his life on the line and do what he was ordered to do knowing full well it could mean his life... There are thousands just like him racing across the desert right now who have uttered the "I do solemnly swear (or affirm)..." pledge... And they deserve a hell of alot more respect than to be lumped in with the temp Commander in Chief...
