You are great a American And I am a proud veteran.


I am adding a statement which most may not agree with, but you insult someone? You should have the facts and not just words. We may not be happy with everything someone does, but there a people who are willing to say they made a mistake and is unhappy with the out comes. I had few replies which some where unhappy with my post and you have every right to disagree, but being ignorant is appalling!

His loyalty is honorable! He trust the President over Mitt and shows he won't follow party lines.

You may not like him and yes there are somethings that he is not proud of! You can blame several others for the many deaths. No disrespect to you, but we don't know him and should see him for proud service war hero and proud American.

He helped cover up My Lai. He did his part to make sure that the Iran-Contra mess never came fully to light. He buckled under to the Bush White House and did his part to lie us into a destructive war with a speech to the U.N. that he knew was based on bullshit from people he already didn't trust.why not an endoresment from Donald Rumsfeld he served and committed acts of the same nature
