Troops Not Happy With Democratic Comments

Democrats claim that they support the U.S. military, but soldiers know better. According to the Washington Times, soldiers from Massachusetts and Hawaii who are serving at Guantanamo Bay had harsh words for Sens. Kennedy (MA) and Akaka (HI) during a visit last week. (Hat tip: Ankle Biting Pundits.)

"They got stiff reactions from those home-state soldiers," one official told us. "The troops down there expressed their disdain for that kind of commentary, especially comparisons to the gulag."

U.S. soldiers know that many Democratic senators would rather say things to hurt the U.S. military and/or President Bush than actually offer real support. Good for them for taking Kennedy and Akaka to task.
