Care to know what the troops think...

   ....of the non-binding resolution to disapprove of the so-called
   "surge"? Well, at least two of them [1]aren't exactly pleased by it,
   and one of those is quoted saying "I don't want to bad-mouth the
   President at all. I mean, to me it's treason."
   The lefties will howl about the treason comment, but so what? They
   howl about everything. Free speech is one thing. Trying to demoralize
   the troops and denigrate the President purely for political advantage
   is another entirely. No, it's not treason, but it's certainly not
   patriotism either.
   Which is why, I guess, the other soldier interviewed said this: "It
   makes me sick. I was born and raised a Democrat, but when I see that
   it just kind of makes me sad."
