Is it Kerry?
By Mitch Berg
No – it’s fellow veteran Chuck Rangel, not so much attacking the troops as claiming they’re too dumb to know better:
If a young fella has an option of having a decent career or joining the army to fight in Iraq, you can bet your life that he would not be in Iraq.
Allahpundit notes:
[the left need] to find a way to exculpate our all-volunteer military for their role in it; blaming them, however obliquely, is politically unviable, which is why even Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore insist they support the troops. Solution: deny their autonomy. Pretend that they’re either too stupid or too lazy or too poor to do anything but enlist.
As to that whole “decent career” thing – AlPundit and I both thought of the same example…
