It’s Lonely At The Bottom
I know somebody, a vet, who insists that the majority of the US Military opposes President G.W. Bush, and really supports left-wing political personalities like, oh say John F. Kerry.
Okay, stop laughing.
Anyhow, despite the fact that this flies in the face of polling data, personal experience and just plain ol’ common sense (not to mention actual reality), I thought I’d add the following piece of entirely anecdotal evidence to the “debate” over this.
Here’s John Kerry sitting in the mess hall at the US embassy in Iraq, during his recent trip. See anything odd? What I see is Kerry essentially sitting alone. According to the servicemember who took the photo:
Sen. Kerry found himself all alone while he was over here. He canceled his press conference because no one came, he worked out alone in the gym w/o any soldiers even going up to say hi or ask for an autograph (I was one of those who was in the gym at the same time), and he found himself eating breakfast with only a couple of folks who are obviously not troops.
What is amazing is Bill O'Reilly came to visit with us and the troops at the CSH the same day and the line for autographs extended through the palace and people waited for two hours to shake his hand. You decide who is more respected and loved by us servicemen and women!
Ah yes, but we mustn’t forget how beloved this man is by our military personnel. I mean who couldn’t love somebody who has built his career out of slandering you regularly over the course of several decades?
