"I see why the military is weak in so many areas"
From the guy who thinks knowing someone who has served is the same as serving...and insists that he never says anything disrespectful about our military.
Unbelievable.
The US military is weak, and unprepared for what is now on the horizon. See below.
"A new strength assessment by the Heritage Foundation sees the U.S. military is growing weaker and weaker as it continues to face an “aggressive” set of threats and challenges around the world. On Tuesday, the Heritage Foundation released its annual U.S. Military Strength assessment."

So, what I said about the military is true. It's just a fact. Any disrespect was mean for Soldier individually.
Perhaps you don't believe it's anything to have relatives who have served, and gotten purple hearts and died, but I do. I still remember the early morning call that my wife got, saying our Army Ranger son had been wounded in a rocket attack in Iraq, and had shrapnel and head injuries, and while they didn't know the severity, he was alive. I saw her turn white and drop to her knees. They said they would report more when they had more. It wasn't until the afternoon that we learned he had a concussion and 4-inch deep shrapnel wound (with the shrapnel still in the wound), and would need to be flown to have surgery.
Are you going to support Soldier on insisting that 100% of kids who go to Harvard get financial aid, when their press and website says 55%? Generally, almost no one with family income over $200,000 gets any family income.
"55% of Harvard undergraduates receive financial aid and pay an average of $12,700 per year."
