I don't know where to start with someone as ignorant as you are. But may I ask what branch of combat arms you served in and when? And what's on your DD214? You have any medals for valor?
I know this might come as a complete shock to an idiot like you, but there are plenty of "liberals" serving in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan right now. There were plenty of "liberals" fighting in Vietnam (I was one). There were "liberals" fighting in Korea and World War II also. My father, a World War II hero, was a labor Democrat. That made him a "liberal" also. You got something against him?
As an American veteran I find your pejorative use of the word liberal to be insulting to me personally. I have nothing to be ashamed of and even less to answer to you for, in terms of my political philosophy. I paid for my right to my political opinion with my blood. How about you?
And if you are so all fired up with patriotic zeal, what the hell are you doing here? Shouldn't you be over there?
