Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) doesn't know when to shut up. But his big mouth tells us more about the way democrats really think about our military than any press release or their "support the troops" pieties. Only a liberal democrat like Harkin would make such an insulting statement a few days before Memorial Day.
Right from Harkin's mouth:
"I think he's trapped in that," Harkin said in a conference call with Iowa reporters. "Everything is looked at from his life experiences, from always having been in the military, and I think that can be pretty dangerous."
Harkin said that "it's one thing to have been drafted and served, but another thing when you come from generations of military people and that's just how you're steeped, how you've learned, how you've grown up."
He said that "I just want to be very clear there's nothing wrong with a career in the military" and that he has friends who are generals and admirals who have served the country well.
Aren't you glad that Tom Harkin thinks "there's nothing wrong with a career in the military". I bet our troops will sleep better tonight knowing that they have the Tom Harkin Seal of Approval.
I thank God every day for the US military!
