A slap in the face to veterans 
I'm traveling at the moment, and posting via iPhone, so I can't really link. But I had to respond to the Obama admnistration's decision to appoint former LA Times colmnist Rosa Brooks to a pentagon advisory post.

This is just the latest in an ever lengthening series of insults to America's veterans.

On March 3rd, 2007, on this blog, I pointed out that Brooks had referred to Bud Day, a former POW, a medal of honor winner, the man who saved McCain's life in prison, a torture victim, a tireless advocate for veterans, and an authentic American hero, as an "unprincipaled, right-wing extremist."

Her selection to a policy advisory position at any level in the DoD is an outrage.

Splash, out,
Jason

Considering the news about veteran issues and recent interrogation debacle, here's modern version of famous quote:

"Ask not what your country can do for you - ask how it will screw you for defending it."
