"Can you imagine anything more irresponsible than for the commander in chief of the military to promote, not just promote, but insist on the knowing destruction of the U.S. military as a means to threaten Congress?"

Bold is mine.
Jon Kyl, can you be anymore of a disingenuous bastard?

Senator Kyl, does that mean that you want to end Medicare? Well, we know that answer. But that actually has some basis in reality.
* Kyl voted for the Ryan Budget, which would change Medicare as we know it
And how about his record on defense and veterans?
* Kyl voted to cut benefits to Filipino WWII veterans
* Kyl voted against a 12 month deployment limit
* Kyl voted against a new GI bill
While having no qualms sending the troops into dangerous locales, and being a hawk on Iran and Syria.
I'm sure he supports the troops - right up till they're injured, dead, or home, whichever is first.
