| It makes me wonder why he joined in the first place. He may have been a stand up guy and was critical of the war even while honorably serving in it, but by simply being there he, knowingly or not, handed the Iraq war proponents a HUGE PR gift. And they took that gift and played it for every bit of patriotic spin they could, right up to the point where it was admitted that it was our own forces that killed him.
If he was indeed against this war he certainhly didn't give any ammo to those back home who were protesting it. In fact, just the opposite. It was "Look, this brave American joined up and forfeited a lucrative career to do so, so you protesters ought to just shut the hell up!" |
