The Christers and Fundies Brigade which seems to control so much of the pro-war rhetoric in these days building up to the all-but-inevitable Get-yer-War-on War of Smirky McWarHardon, has proven that it does not really give a shit about soldiers, veterans or anyone else but themselves, really. Well they're just following the lead of President Pretzel Logic, who disses vets at every opportunity (I guess it makes that desertion thing easier to face in what little mind he has). Via Roger Ailes and DU is this story about a veteran who served in the last Gulf War, and was trying to go to Law School at Pat Robertson's Regent University Law School. It seems that he thought that injuries he sustained in the Gulf might have contributed to a facial tic he developed. His good Christian classmates saw it as a sign of Demonic Possession.
You can't make this stuff up.
Expect to see the vets of today's conflicts treated the same way by the same people, either because of their guilt at having never served, or their inability understand the sacrifices that these soldiers made, and will always make for our country.
Everyone involved at that law school should have to go serve in an infantry company in the next installment of the War for Oil II. They might come back and apologize.
