During a campaign trip in Grayson County for this 2008 reelection, Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky made the following comments about ‘professional soldiers’.
"Unfortunately, most of our friends on the other isle are having a hard time admitting things are getting better; some days I almost think the critics of this war don't want us to win. Nobody is happy about losing lives but remember these are not draftees, these are full-time professional soldiers."
Senator, have you no shame? Is there no length you would go to justified the failed policies of President Bush?
The death of an American soldier is no less tragic because he or she happens to be a member of an all volunteer military.
