With the American right, it’s not about the troops. It’s never been about the troops.

When a GOP debate audience booed a soldier in Iraq because they didn’t approve of the question he posed to the candidates, it was obvious then. Now that an Iraq vet has been so severely beaten by cops at Occupy Oakland he requires brain surgery, and the knives have come out from the right against the soldier, we see a pattern that is beyond obvious.

The troops serving overseas and at home are nothing to the right wing. They are merely window dressing for the propaganda army that has infiltrated the US media. They are soldier shields for an ideology that cares little for anyone other than the one. The new Me Generation of Swine.
