First there was this gem from Sen. Mitch McConnell:
Nobody is happy about losing lives but remember these are not draftees, these are full-time professional soldiers.
Now there’s this charming statement from VP Dick Cheney:
He’s the one who has to make the decision to commit young Americans, but we are fortunate to have a group of men and women, the all-volunteer force, who voluntarily put on the uniform and go in harm’s way for the rest of us.
Stay classy, draft-dodgers!

Sometimes, I wonder why I don’t just stick cotton in my ears every morning:
The Army blocked help for wounded vets and then lied about it.
Sen. Mitch McConnell and his ilk stopped legislation that would actually help people in this dear-God-whatever-you-do-don’t-call-it-a-recession.
We’re paying more and getting less for our national defense.

Coming to a newsstand near you: The Nation with Bob Moser’s cover story entitled “Kentucky at War,” which examines Kentucky’s progressive grassroots community and how it’s reshaping the political and ideological landscapes of that state — and doing so outside the rigid, tepid, and unresponsive party structures.
It’s gonna be a hell of a read!
