Attention, DU combat veterans! Got some news for you:

[Redstone]

According to Nathan "Hoo-Ra" Taylor of the Young Republicans Candyasses, having "participated in events or projects supporting the United States Armed Forces" is the same thing as you having gone off and taken the chance of getting, or even indeed having gotten, your ass shot off.

Really. That's what he said. It's all here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4029951&mesg_id=4029951

I'd be interested in hearing if you agree with old Nate. I'd be even more interested in having your tell him what you think of his opinions directly. There's a link in the referenced thread to the Brave Young Hero Republicans Who Participate In Events website...

I am positive that Nate would love to hear from as many combat veterans as want to write to him, since he's so supportive of our troops and all.

1. I won't be telling my dad since, as far as I know, his reaction would be

considered homicide.

See, my dad, the Vietnam Veteran, voted for Kerry, as he always votes Democratic. He votes for those who truly support our military.

And, woe to the snot-nosed little shitty rethuglian who gets in his way.

2. Well, you could write to the little snotbag on behalf of your Dad.

I'm sure he'd be happy to hear the feeling of a real combat veteran such as your father--he is all Supportive of the Troops, and all that. He must be, anyway, he told us he is.

3. Redstone, one of those boys did take a hell of a risk when he...

kicked that little Lady demonstrator at their convention. There weren't but two or three security men holding her on the floor! Those damn brown shirt bastids need an old fashioned ass kicking for daring to say they've served!
