Joe Roche was quoted in a page one Washington Post story Thursday.
I guess the Post, not a notoriously right-wing outfit, does not concur with the leftist souless wonders who think that when a soldier such as Joe relates his honest opinion it constitutes a “PR missive” (Daily Kos), call Joe a “phony” and a “professional propagandist” (Oliver Willis) or, like Democrats.com in April, claim Joe isn’t real.
I guess I should not harp on this issue but I just can’t believe people act this way toward our combat soldiers. While all Americans enjoy First Amendment rights equally, I can’t help but think that those who put their lives on the line to defend those rights should be treated, ceremonially at least, as first among equals.
