All cadets get Purple Hearts? That must be some hazing. Oh, right, Band-Aids count.
I think we've pretty well established how far even the principled Republicans will go in defense of this Administration. Deficits? Irrelevant. Interventionism? Mandatory. Protectionism? Negotiable. Torture? Justifiable. Constitution? Amendable. Voluntary military service? Opportunism.
Mind you, I'm not sad to see the sacred cow of a candidate's military service slaughtered, as I didn't serve, and it was doomed by the rise of a specialist career officer corps. I just didn't expect it would be ground up in quite so fine a goo. And by Bob Dole, no less.
They say there is a non-religious branch of the GOP; I don't think that's true. Rather, let's say instead there is an atheist branch that directs its supernatural beliefs and ecstatic fervor toward non-deities.
