Not sure that really helped, Phaenx. The article is logically inconsistent and has to resort to name-calling (cocksucking commie sympathizer? geez - what decade is this?!?) to make any kind of point, which it doesn't, really. I think it's the worst kind of intellectual dishonesty to question someone's patriotism - particularly a veteran - simply because he doesn't line up and salute a questionable war. If that were the case, half the fricking Pentagon and a slew of Bush's own military advisors would be Benedict Arnolds themselves. Much easier to throw around expletives than to actually deal seriously with the ambiguity and complexity of the situation.
