When They Say "We Support the Troops", They Mean al Queda Troops

First Kerry, now Rangel. 
There really shouldn't be any doubt in anyone's mind why a lot of military think the average Democrat would rather spit on them than shake their hand. 
On the other hand, if Charlie Rangel were on fire, there's quite a few soldiers who wouldn't even piss on him to put it out.

(update - in response to the snarky emails I've received:  The Army didn't pay any of my undergraduate degree costs.  I paid them all.  The Army didn't pay any of my graduate degree costs.  I paid them all.  I have 100% of my Montgomery GI Bill benefits remaining, and will probably use none of them. So no, I haven't benefited from the Army educational benefits that Rangel says is the only reason soldiers join, so I can say that had nothing at all to do with my nearly 22 years of service. 

And by the way, I can't wait to see his committee  "prove" we are all a bunch of societal losers.  First black soldier he should have in front of his committee - Gen(R) Colin Powell.)

I'm am sorry that you and our military have to listen to such arrogance as Rangel. I know this makes al-Qaeda smile but be assured the rest of us are taking note of the total lack of support by mainstream dumocrats who now think they have a mandate to dis the very people who protect their ability to criticize their government. I don't think this is what the anti-Republicans thought they were voting for. That includes the Republicans who are disenchanted with their party and voted in protest for Democrats. Not to say there weren't a few good democrats running. But you get people like Rangel with them.
This may suck for two years but I don't think the dumocrats can last that long without imploding. By then, perhaps the disenchanted Republicans and centrist Democrats will finally sober up.

After that promising start, you aren't going to take the GI Bill money and complete your obstetrics training?
