LOL PP, if you truly have a problem with someone using the military for their own political gain, then I'm sure you thoroughly renounce Bouche and Co. LOL

If Kerry used the military for political gain as you suggest, he did so in a manner that shortened the war and saved potentially thousands of lives. Unless you can submit some credible evidence that his actions cost lives.

Bouche is using the military in a manner that's costing more and more lives everyday, and that's not considering the numbers of innocent civilians being lost. Nor is it taking into account how he's essentially cut funding for veteran's benefits, including those maimed and wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It's a fact the military is a pawn for every politician. Some obtain positive results in return, others negative.
