This is a very good article.

Boy, I'll say!

Dollars to donuts the Lt. Col. never makes bird, or maybe it's never MADE bird because he's too dang honest.

Patterson wrote another book awhile back that gave us a good look at clinton from the inside. The name of the book is "Dereliction of Duty" .

Lt Col Patterson certainly doesn't hesitate to call a spade a spade....Lt. Col. Patterson: The Left’s “support” of our military consists of constant undermining or ignoring of the successes in Iraq and Afghanistan (and there have been many), legislation calling for outright defeat, grossly exaggerating or embellishing the misdeeds of a few miscreants at Abu Ghraib, championing baseless claims of torture at Guantanamo Bay, and staging antiwar rallies across the country. Our troops certainly don’t need or deserve those sorts of support.

How can somebody claim to support the troops while they demean them publicly (as John Kerry has done routinely since 1971) and not support the combat that we, as a nation, ordered them into? The reality is the Left doesn’t understand the military, in many cases finds military service distasteful and beneath them, and apparently doesn’t nearly understand the threat we face.
