"I find it extraordinary that a very few number of families are paying the price of freedom in America"
Does he think that we should expand the wars and draft more people into fighting them?
Is he sorry there are not more Americans in harm's way? Does he think there should be more casualties?

More and more, whenever I see the spewing of any one of the GOP's version of Insane Clown Posse (with deepest apologies to the actual band) in print - they make no sense at all.
I hate rhetoric, and cannot sit still for a speech by anyone, on either "side" - but these guys seem to be just throwing out illogical blather.
