Finally, some good news...
unhappycamper note: Since the ‘Pentagon’ (DoD? Gannett?) has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.
To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.

Read all about Fair Use here.

unhappycamper summary of this article: ;)

John McCain (R-Az) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) yesterday.

It's disgusting that the shrub put our troops in the predicament they're currently in, but doing it without adequate defenses is seriously unthinkable. Curiously, I don't recall anyone accusing the shrub of thinking.
