Karl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft, Colin Powell, Alberto Gonzales, Paul Wolfowitz, George Tenet, Ari Fleisher, Scott McClellan, Andrew Card, Harriet Myers ... all of them quit.  They abandoned the promises they made to the Constitution and to the men and women who put themselves on the line to defend it.

But the people who haven't quit are the men and women in the US armed forces.  They're the ones with their lives on the line -- not skipping out when they get a lucrative lobbying position or when the going gets too rough.

My hat's off to you, Brandon, and the efforts you've made to give real support to US military men and women.  Thanks for the truth, and thanks for not abandoning the real struggle.  It's a rare element in the periodic chart of the Bush administration.
