Cleland is a hero not because of how he was injured, but because of what he did in the war up to that point. Coulter conveniently leaves that part out. You know, the part where he won a Silver Star "for gallantry in action" at Khe Sanh.
Coulter's previous piece was a joke and this one is as well.
I would have no problem with Bush's military record as long as he would come clean about it to the American people and to himself. Instead, he parades around in a flight suit and says he's proud of being a "war president", even though he personally would never go to war.
September 11th changed the country and its effect still looms. Americans are scared and vulnerable and they need a strong leader to protect them. The Democrats didn't fully realize this in 2002, but they do now. They will present the American people with a clear choice: a man who wouldn't go to war himself but enjoys sending other people to them vs. a man who's been to war and understands the difference between a just war and an unnecessary war.
