How the GOP “Lost” the Military Vote

Whether they actually have and whether they will: Greyhawk, multiply deployed, posits they haven’t but could and here’s why, spinning off Blackfive’s related discussion.

In other milblog business, Badger Six is on his way home. You’ll remember that this National Guard engineer company commander extended for another 10 months when his unit went home, in order to pass on his lifesaving route-clearance knowledge where it could do the most good, in theater. Scroll down at his site to read about SF Master Sgt. Brendan O’Connor’s DSC. Also, Badger Six’s take on when enough is enough:

When you think you have done enough to support the war effort remember this - right now there is someone sitting in mud hut in Iraq, a factory in Iran, and cave in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and maybe a neighborhood in the United States who is preparing to kill you. He knows he has not done enough. Ask yourself again then if you have done enough.

It’s an attitude that asks a lot of people of whom much has been asked, particularly when Americans are free to sit it out. Six is in a position to talk.
