And you think conservatives are any different?
Did you hear the Rep. candidate in the background at the first Rep.
candidates' debate complaining that Bill Clinton had decreased the
size of the army? It's been 6 years with the Reps controlling

increase the size of the army but they are still blaming Bill Clinton.
And we're in a war now with multiple and extended tours.
Would you deal with a company you thought was immoral? Maybe you
would.
