A recent Military Times poll found that just 46 percent of U.S. troops now believe that the country should have invaded Iraq, and only 40 percent approve of Bush’s handling of the war.[...]
Yesterday, the Center for Responsive Politics reported that members of the military donated the most [money in campaign contributions] not to McCain, but to two anti-war candidates.
Ron Paul and Barack Obama, although I would not personally call Obama an anti-war candidate. Why are the troops so unpatriotic? Do they hate America? They gave $94,000 in 2007 to Obama, and far and away the higher figure of $212,000 to Ron Paul – the only guy who makes it clear he’d end the war(s).
So maybe it’s time to stop letting the war hounds, and particularly the GOP, get away with claiming to be the ones supporting the troops. Surely, with this information, the Democrats can quit playing that game of defense. I won’t hold my breath waiting.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
