How is it possible that an Iraqi war veteran could be against Bush ?
Edited on Sat Jul-30-05 08:16 AM by kentuck
And on top of that, an officer? Paul Hackett has called George Bush and his friends in the White House, "chickenhawks". Nothing hurts this White House as much as the truth. Just ask Joseph Wilson. They've gone after him like he's John Kerry.

2. How is it possible that ANY sane veteran could be FOR him?
He's a strutting, arrogant deserter who started an unnecessary war and surrounds himself with the lowest dregs of chickenhawk humanity.
:puke:

3. What is Obvious Should be Obvious to All
We are getting so used to seeing people support the moron that when people do the right thing, we are surprised. More and more soldiers are learning the hard way what a mess we are in.

4. Uhhh...well...they are tired of commerades dying for BushCo profit?
They are tired of the empty platitudes, double standards, lies, and greed the BADministration spews. They are tired of fighting so a few people can benefit, while being poorly protected, and fighting against a people who despirately want to know how they are better off now than under a brutal dictator.

5. Hackett said
he did not and would not vote for him but he would die for him.
(meaning any president due his respect for the office)

I think that was a pretty shrewd statement.

6. It's called integrity.
It is not only shrewd, but probably true. And, that statement with his service to this country, earned himn the right (and gave him the moral authority) to call anyone who has not been willing to do the same a "chickenhawk".

If he does not win, because his service and his honor is allowed to be dengrated, this administration does not deserve to have one more soldier die for their illegal and immoral war. Not one.
