WTF is wrong with you, Republicans?

All my life I listen to your bullshit about supporting the troops. How many times have I seen a group of beer-hype 20-something Republican males who never served in uniform repeat military lingo verbatim, including about always "returning for your buddy". Now that President OBAMA freed a POW, there's somehow something wrong with the soldier, himself. What a coincidence. Bunch of GI Joe-playing hypocrites.

Complete with SEALs, and have a TV special all set up ahead of time. Maybe Geraldo could MC.

That's how I feel when it comes to anything President Obama does. Help homeowners with the Affordable Care Act, help the everyday American afford healthcare, oversee the extermination of the man responsible for 9/11 . . . none of it matters. This young man deserved to be brought home. If he has done something wrong, deal with it justly. When our military men and women are being treated like trash, what the hell do they care about anyone? Honestly, I don't know where this country is going. Sad.

Chances are they never fought in a war or even served in the military. And most importantly, they never saw life through his eyes.
