Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller recently reiterated the extremely obvious feelings that the democratic party holds for our military. To any normal/ logical person it comes as no surprise. Democrats have pandered and ridiculed anything having to do with the military for years (Even before Iraq). The Senators remarks, however, were directed at republican presidential nominee John McCain.
"McCain was a fighter pilot, who dropped laser-guided missiles from 35,000 feet. He was long gone when they hit. What happened when they (the missiles) get to the ground? He doesn't know. You have to care about the lives of people. McCain never gets into those issues," Rockefeller said.
The logic behind these remarks is almost completely absent. In fact, they are some of the most ignorant remarks I've heard in awhile minus the absolutely racist Jeremiah Wright's rhetoric. These remarks just go to bolster the fact that the Democrats do indeed hold little to no respect for those that serve our country in the military.
It was extremely evident in the Clinton administration. According to a Heritage Foundation study, Clinton nearly cut the U.S. Army divisions in half and cut total U.S. Naval ships by roughly 40%. He didn't think possessing a strong military was of much importance. Now, even a number of prominent democrats think it would be best if the U.S. didn't have a strong national military, thinking it better if we gave way to a military governed by the U.N. These anti-militaristic idea's are absolutely insane; the problem is theses ideas are absolutely the face of the Democratic party today.
It's no secret that the vast majority of the serving men and woman of the country are republicans. Perhaps they know all to well the dangers of this fallacy inspired thinking.
These Democrats curse and protest military recruiters at college campuses, they refer to The U.S. soldiers as terrorists, they label men such as Gen. Petraeus with sharp names like "General Betray Us", Would rather provide adequate housing to convicted felons over U.S. veterans, and the disgusting list continues. However, let me be clear that i don't believe all Democrats retain these ignorant beliefs. Nevertheless, it is painfully apparent that there is a strong sect of them that do.
God bless our troops.
